All three men are members of the Rebeldes gang.
The officer was shot in the early hours of the morning of October 27 near Puketona Junction after a car pulled up in front of a police vehicle, forcing a stop.
Two men with firearms reportedly got out of their car and one fired into the windshield of the police car. The offer was withdrawn unscathed and asked for a backup.
Earlier in the evening, the men allegedly abducted a man at gunpoint, forced him into the trunk of his own car, and shot him as he escaped.
The three accused men were detained by police at separate locations in the Bay of Plenty and Waikato.
