First sentence: One of the daunting problems in setting out the eventful history of policing in Northland is deciding where to begin.  It is common knowledge that the Northland region is the cradle of
New Zealand colonisation.
Description: This is a history of the Northland Police District covering the area from Kaiwaka to Cape Reinga
from the beginning of European settlement up to 1986.  In this year the N.Z. Police celebrated
100 years of existence as a civilian law enforcement body.  The first police to work in New Zealand were a Sergeant and four mounted troopers from the N.S.W. Mounted Police who accompanied Captain William Hobson in H.M.S. Herald arriving at Waitangi on 29 Jan.1840.

"The celebration of the centenary of the New Zealand Police provided the incentive for the preparation of this district history. Northland is not only the earliest, but the most historically colourful of any police district in New Zealand".
