Police Support for The Kahukura Programme
Cam Slater made this Official Information request to Jacinda Ardern
The request was successful.
From: Cam Slater
Dear Jacinda Ardern,
In Parliament on 4 August 2021 you stated "The member asked a question around the process around the proceeds of crime. My recollection, and with some prompts, I received some information around the proceeds of crime programme in February. I asked for additional advice on the outcomes of the trials that the member references and also the perspective of the police. What I received in return was confirmation that the local police in the Hawke's Bay supported the programme. That formed the basis of my and other Ministers' approval of the funding."
[Hansard Reference: https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/hansard-...
Please provide the details and supporting documentation, including emails, file notes, aide memoires, text messages that provide the basis for the claim that "the local police in the Hawke's Bay supported the programme."
Yours faithfully,
Cam Slater
