We can all help keep New Zealand safe from foreign interference by reporting it to the NZSIS or the Police.
If it is an emergency and happening now call 111 and ask for Police
When:
- People are injured or in danger.
- There is a scene or have just left one.
- Serious, immediate, or imminent risk to life or property.
- A crime is being or has just been committed and the offenders are still at the scene.
- If you can't talk and you're on a mobile, stay quiet and listen for the 'press 55' prompt; if you're on a landline, follow the operator's instructions.
How to report to authorities
-
If the information is not time-critical, people can report to their local Police by:
- Completing an online report at 105 Police Non-Emergency Online Reporting
- Phoning the non-emergency number 105
- Visiting their nearest Police station
- Calling Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111
-
You can report foreign interference using the secure online form on the NZSIS website.
- You don’t have to give your personal information like your name, phone number, or contact details if you don’t want to. You can also fill out the form in your own language.
- If you want to talk to someone at NZSIS, you can call them on +64 4 472 6170 or 0800 747 224.
- When the NZSIS sees your report, they will check it. If you leave your contact details, the NZSIS will only contact you if they need more information. If the NZSIS don’t contact you, it doesn’t mean they have ignored your report.

If you suspect foreign bribery, you can report it confidentially through the Serious Fraud Office’s anonymous reporting tool.
