Auckland, 30 May 2013 – Wynyard Group, the specialists in intelligence-led software and solutions for protecting companies and countries from threat, crime and corruption, has secured a contract with the New Zealand Police for Wynyard’s serious crime investigations software.

The initial term of Wynyard’s contract with New Zealand Police is five years with renewal provisions for a further 10 years.

We are proud to now include New Zealand Police alongside our other international government customers,” said Richardson.
