We can all help keep New Zealand safe from national security threats like foreign interference and espionage by reporting them to the NZSIS or the Police. No matter which way you choose, they will make sure your information gets to the right place.
If it is happening now, call 111 and ask for Police.
If you can’t talk and you are on a cell phone, stay quiet and listen for the ‘press 55’ prompt. If you can’t talk and you are on a landline phone, stay quiet and listen to the operator who will tell you to press any button for help.
You can report foreign interference and espionage using the secure online form on the NZSIS website(external link). 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 Te Reo Māori or any other language of your choosing. 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 it’s not an emergency, you can contact the Police by:
