Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - Use of interpol notices
for harassment purposes

 

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not
click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know
the content is safe.

 

 

Dear New Zealand Police,

 

I am aware of the New Zealand Police practice of using interpol notices
for harassment purposes, e.g. intentionally putting false and misleading
information for obstructing citizen's movements and causing useless
interrogations on borders. (The practice commonly seen within small
pseudo-democracy countries)

 

May I kindly ask for the documents/policies regulating the use of Interpol
notices and alerts (e.g. Interpol manual?).

 

Additionally, I am looking for the list of persons/positions having an
access to use them (Interpol notices/alerts) and procedures/policies in
place preventing misuse of them in a harassment way if it is not a part of
the above documents.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Anatoly Kern

Tēnā koe Mr Kern

Thank you for your email of 8 July 2021. I can confirm that a response to your original request (IR-01-21-18487) was sent to you this morning.

The response did not address the additional question you referred to Police yesterday: "I am fine with the delay but would like to request to add a copy of the consultation correspondence to the final release, specifically interested in the party names to consult and sections of the released information to be consulted."

Could you please confirm whether you still require a response to the above question. If so, it will need to be logged as a new request.

I will await confirmation from you that wish to lodge your question of 8 July 2021 as a new OIA request.
