This is a list of New Zealand Police officers and non-sworn staff[1] killed in the line of duty.
As of 2025, 34 police officers have been killed by criminal act,[2][3][4] and about 17 have died from accidental causes, during the execution of duty.
There has been one instance of multiple police deaths, when Stanley Graham gunned down four officers (and two wartime home guardsmen) attempting to apprehend him in 1941, and four double fatalities.
A slain officer may receive a police funeral, including an honour guard and flag-draped casket,[5] and be officially mourned in the New Zealand House of Representatives.
In addition to the human officers, 24 police dogs have died in the line of duty;[8] notably the drowning of Enzo in 2007,[9] Gage, a six-year-old German Shepherd, in 2010.
