Dear Riki
I am writing in response to the request for information you submitted on 2 March 2020
about Civil Defence Emergency Management Manual. Specifically you requested:
I am required to analyse the NZ Police - Civil Defence Emergency Management
Manual. Please can you provide a copy of this document?
Your request has been considered in accordance with the Official Information Act 1982.
I have attached a copy of the “Civil defence and emergency management” chapter from
the Police Manual.
You may find additional information about Police’s responsibilities in an emergency under
section 9 of the Guide to the National Civil Defence Emergency Management Plan 2015.
A copy of the Guide is publicly available and can be found here:
