Finding Justices of the Peace now easier

Locating Justices of the Peace is now easier, thanks to a searchable database on the Royal Federation of New Zealand Justices' Associations website.

JPs can be found based on city/suburb, postcode, surname, or language skill.

Local JP and association trainer Michael O'Neill says a simple search can bring up contact details of a JP in your area, as well as maps and directions.

'A new feature of the site are those Justices with a green ‘accredited' tag alongside their name,” he says.

'These Justices have recently attended training and have been assessed to be competent and up to date with the many changes that impact on the role and functions of the work we do.”

Michael says over a third of local Justices have recently completed competency training, so Tauranga residents can have confidence that their local Justice of the Peace is skilled and proficient to manage the tasks brought before them.
