Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - Number of Pre Charge
Warnings Issued for Indecent Assault

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not

the content is safe.

Dear New Zealand Police,
Under the Official Information Act, I request information relating to the
number of pre charge warnings (also described as "formal police warnings")
issued for the offence of "indecent assault" (s135 of the Crimes Act
1961), across all policing districts in New Zealand between 01 January
2019 to present, being the date on which you receive this request.
If this request is made easier by dividing the number of warnings by the
policing district in which they were issued, that is acceptable. However,
if not, I request please that the number  which have been issued in the
Auckland City policing district be made clear.
Yours Faithfully,
Blake Monk

Tēnā koe Mr Monk

 
I refer to your request of 11 March 2021 for the following information:

 

Under the Official Information Act, I request information relating to the
number of pre charge warnings (also described as "formal police warnings")
issued for the offence of "indecent assault" (s135 of the Crimes Act
1961), across all policing districts in New Zealand between 01 January
2019 to present, being the date on which you receive this request.

If this request is made easier by dividing the number of warnings by the
policing district in which they were issued, that is acceptable. However,
if not, I request please that the number  which have been issued in the
Auckland City policing district be made clear.

 

I have been asked to advise you that Police requires an extension of time
in which to respond to your request, pursuant to section 15A(1) of the
Official Information Act (OIA). Specifically, section 15A(1)(a), the
request is for a large quantity of official information or necessitates a
search through a large quantity of information and meeting the original
time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of the
department or the Minister of the Crown or the organisation.

 

Police require until 24 May 2021 to provide a substantive response to your
request.

 

You have the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA, to make a complaint to
an Ombudsman about this extension.

 

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this
decision, please feel free to contact
[1][email address].
