The framing also varies based on the type of crime covered.

It notes that the new code of conduct conflicts with explanatory notes and prohibits the use of "optical equipment" for surveillance, though removing restrictions on photography. It also reports on issues with the new licensing process and removal of vehicle owner information access.
The new Private Investigators Act has commenced in New Zealand, bringing with it a new Code of Conduct that was released late and contains ambiguities. Specifically, it states that private investigators can photograph or video, but then prohibits the use of "optical equipment", leaving investigators confused about how to comply. Applications are underway to renew licenses under the new system, but licenses will now be issued as an A4 paper sheet rather than a proper card, sparking debate. NZIPI has also had success working with authorities to maintain access to vehicle owner information for investigations.

Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Although the new Act started on 1 April, the government has extended the requirement for
Crowd Controllers to be licensed until 1 November 2011. From that date they must display a
current Crowd Controllers photo ID licence at all times when on duty. Unfortunately for about
30% of current Bouncers they won’t pass the licensing test that requires them to have no
fraud, dishonesty, violence or other relevant criminal past.

Mellow Yellow an Overseas Model in Practice
The NZ Police are looking to adopt the “Mellow Yellow” initiative first started in the UK which
involves security staff working outside Bars and Clubs wearing fluorescent vests and having
integrated radio comms that allows security companies to talk to each other, irrespective of
where they are. See this article in the Otago Daily Times http://www.odt.co.nz/news/queenstown-

Paragon have already started the process. Our Head Doorperson in each Bar and Club have
radios that allows us to alert the next establishment if a group of drunk or violent youths are

2. Some Information for Bars and Club Owners
Private Security Personnel and Private Investigators Act 2010
The New Act commenced on 1 April 2011.
Crowd Controllers have been given a grace period until 1November 2011 which is the date when they must
already be licensed.
To assist we have prepared a checklist for Bars and Clubs:
Meaning of crowd Controller. Section 11
(1) In this Act, crowd controller means a person who for valuable consideration, either by himself or herself or in partnership with any other
person, carries on a business doing all or any of the following:
(a) screening entry to a place (other than simply ensuring that admission has been paid or that those entering have appropriate invitations
or passes):
(b) keeping order in a place (more than merely being expected to draw the attention of others to behaviour that is inappropriate or threatens
to become inappropriate):
(c) removing any person from a place.
(2) A person is not a crowd controller solely because he or she does the work described in section 10
Meaning of crowd Controller employee. Section 19
1) In this Act, crowd controller employee means an individual who in the course of his or her employment, or engagement as a contractor,
by a crowd controller or other person—
(a) screens entry to a place (other than simply ensuring that admission has been paid or that those entering have appropriate invitations or
passes):
(b) keeps order in a place (more than merely being expected to draw the attention of others to behaviour that is inappropriate or threatens
to become inappropriate):
(c) removes any person from a place.
(2) A person is not a crowd controller employee if—
(a) he or she is not employed or engaged primarily to do work of a kind specified in subsection (1)(a), (b), or (c), but performs that work
incidentally to the principal work he or she performs; or
(b) he or she does the work specified in section 18(b) and no other work of a kind specified in subsection (1)(a), (b), or (c).
Must Do
Licensing Every Crowd Controller must be licensed by 1 November 2011
Display Licence Every Crowd Controller must display their licence at all times on duty
Proof of Licence Must produce their licence on demand
In–house Controllers Must be licensed as above, Section 19. Note: Bars liable to be fined
Fines for Non Compliance $2,000 for not wearing badge, $10,000 up to $20,000 for not being licensed
Should Do Note: this is Paragon’s Suggested Best practice for Bars and Clubs
Contracts Every Bar and Club should have a formal contract with their provider
Every Provider should have a contract with their guard (Bar and Club should sight)
This will provide Bars and Clubs protection should an event occur
Insurance Bars and Clubs should sight providers Professional Indemnity and Public Liability
cover to enable an insurer to be satisfied should an event occur
Training Bars and Clubs should sight evidence of formal training clause in the contract
(Note: this will be part of legislation next year)
Supervision Bars and Clubs should ensure the contract has a formal training clause and that
guards are supervised, again to maintain insurance cover
Professional - Licensed Crowd Controllers will ensure happy safe places to frequent
and that must surely be great for business
