Good Afternoon Thomas,

 

I write in relation to an Official Information Act request you recently
made to Police through the website FYI.org.nz. You asked for “a copy of
all manuals, SOP's, and policies related to the CARD system used in the
communication centres.” As this question currently stands it would likely
be declined under s18(f) of the Act, as making the information available
would require substantial collation and research. CARD is the whole
operating system that is loaded on to computers used by Communication
Centres; it includes numerous applications. Police hold manuals, SOPs and
policies for a range of different functions across these applications.

 

If you could please provide me direction on any applications that you are
interested or not interested in this would help to limit the scope of your
request, making it more likely that we would release the information and
ensuring that you are able to locate the information sought. Similarly
some guidance on the types of information you want/do not want would be
helpful. To enable this, I have listed the applications and a brief
description of what they do, as well as some broad categories of
information types. Your assistance in indicating whether you want it
included/not included in the response is appreciated.

 

CARD-specific Applications

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Application |Function |Inclusion (YES/NO)|
|----------------+------------------------------------+------------------|
|I/CAD |The primary application used to |  |
| |record information from the public | |
| |and coordinate the deployment of | |
| |resources to events.   | |
|----------------+------------------------------------+------------------|
|CARD Resource |Used to ‘log on’ police units to |  |
|Allocation (CRA)|I/CAD | |
|----------------+------------------------------------+------------------|
|MIICE |Telephony system used by |  |
| |Communication Centres | |
|----------------+------------------------------------+------------------|
|VNC |Application that allows remote |  |
| |monitoring of computers used within | |
| |Communication Centres | |
|----------------+------------------------------------+------------------|
|Instant Connect |Radio system used by Communication |  |
|Dispatch Console|Centres | |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

 

Other applications available on CARD (not specific to CARD)

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Application |Function |Inclusion (YES/NO) |
|---------------------+-------------------------+------------------------|
|National Intelligence|Record Management System.|This is an extensive |
|Application (NIA) | |system and inclusion |
| | |would likely require a |
| | |time limit extension to |
| | |fulfil. It may also be |
| | |declined under s18(f). |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

 

Types of information held

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Information type |Description |Inclusion (YES/NO)|
|--------------------+--------------------------------+------------------|
|Training and |Manuals provided during training|  |
|instruction manuals |courses or available on the | |
| |intranet. | |
|--------------------+--------------------------------+------------------|
|Information Security|The policy that outlines how |  |
|Policy |information applications are | |
| |able to be used by Police | |
| |Employees. This is a generic | |
| |document and applies across all | |
| |Police technology. | |
|--------------------+--------------------------------+------------------|
|Business Continuity |These plans contain information |  |
|Plans |on the alternative | |
| |technology/applications that | |
| |should be used following any | |
| |system faults or planned | |
| |outages. | |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

 

Thank you in advance for your cooperation. I am happy to discuss this
matter on the phone if you prefer.

Dear Mr Holmes

 

I apologise for the delay in sending you our response to your request made
in February 2020 for the following information:

Training materials and manuals for CAD and CARD Resource. In particular
documentation that would normally be provided to new employees for
training.

 

I understand the initial attempt to send the documentation failed because
of the volume of information.  I am sending this to you in three emails of
which this is the first.

 

 

Ngā mihi
