The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) is a departmental agency hosted by DPMC. Under DPMC’s Motor Vehicle Policy, which also applies to NEMA, the individual driving the vehicle at the time of any offence is responsible for paying the fine. I have been advised that no NEMA staff have been issued infringement notices by the New Zealand Police during the period 27 November 2023 – 1 August 2025. For DPMC, there has been at least one, and up to five infringement notices.
