Safer Napier

Napier City is proud be an accredited international Safe Community that recognises safety as a universal concern and a responsibility for all. First accredited in 2010, Safer Napier aims to make Napier a safe and healthy city through encouraging cooperation and collaboration of key agencies, organisations, community groups, businesses and the wider community who share this common goal.

Napier City Council is the agency responsible for coordinating the programme which is governed by the Safer Napier Strategic Group. Mayor Wise is the ambassador of the programme.

The programme has been extremely successful, winning numerous awards including the ‘2016 World Health Organisation Western Pacific Regional Office Healthy Cities Recognition for Violence and Injury Prevention’.  

Safer Napier was reaccredited in 2021 where over 59 agencies, organisations and groups signed a Memorandum of Commitment, reconfirming the commitment to work together to improve community safety in Napier.
