Nominations are sought for the vice-president position, as well as director and deputy director roles in three Police Association regions.

Nominations for vice-president

The vice-president position currently occupied by Paul Ormerod is now open for nominations. It is for a three-year term. 

The Police Association’s constitution allows for any two members to nominate any other member for the position of vice-president. An association district or area committee must endorse any nomination.

If more than one nomination is received, an election will be held on October 14, 2026, at the association’s annual conference.

Nomination forms are available from your association secretaries or our website (policeassn.org.nz, member log-in required). Nominations close at 5pm on Friday, August 14.

Nominations are to be sent to National Secretary Erin Polaczuk by email (erin.polaczuk@policeassn.org.nz) or by post to National Secretary, NZ Police Association, PO Box 12344, Wellington 6144. 

Nominations for region directors and deputy region directors

Nominations are sought for three Police Association region director positions, along with deputy director roles in those regions. They are:

  • Region 2 (Auckland and Counties Manukau districts)
  • Region 4 (Eastern and Central districts)
  • Region 6 (Tasman and Canterbury districts)

The term for each position is two years. (Elections for roles in Regions 1, 3, 5, and 7 are held in odd-numbered years.)

Members seeking election for either a director or deputy director role must have served either one year as an office holder (secretary, chairperson, conference delegate or treasurer) or three years on a committee.

Nominations must be from an area or district committee and each committee is entitled to nominate only one member. The elections are carried out by the region committees. However, if there is only one overall nomination for a position, that person will automatically be elected. 

Nomination forms are available from your association secretaries or on the association’s website, policeassn.org.nz. Member log-in is required. Nominations close at 5pm on Friday, August 14.

Nominations are to be sent to National Secretary Erin Polaczuk by email (erin.polaczuk@policeassn.org.nz) or by post to National Secretary, NZ Police Association, PO Box 12344, Wellington 6144.
