Dear James
Information Request
I refer to your correspondence received on 11 January 2022 in which you requested
information relating to the New Zealand Police vehicle fleet. You requested:
•
Like a list of all vehicle Models Currently in use and used within the last ten years as
of January 11th, 2022. This list includes vehicle makes (e.g. Holden) and Vehicle
model (e.g. commodore)
•
Like the amount of each vehicle Currently in use including specific counts of each
use case e.g. Holden Commodore 1,444 in use, 800 for highway patrol, 644 general
duties. This list is to include vehicles that are used by each area department of the
New Zealand police Such as the diplomatic protection squad and the armed
offenders squad.
I have considered your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA).
Information in response to each part of your request can be found in the attached appendix.
This information was sourced from the Master Fleet Summary, a document that changes
daily. This can be for several reasons such as a vehicle has reached the end of its service
and decommissioned, replaced by a new vehicle, or transferred to a different working group.
All vehicle models used by Police in the period 2016 to 21 January 2021 are represented in
the appendix. Providing records prior to 2016 would involve a substantial amount of collation
and research to obtain, therefore those records are refused under section 18(f) of the Official
Information Act 1982.
The allocation of resources to specialised working groups is operationally sensitive and must
be remain confidential to uphold the maintenance of law. For this reason, some information
you requested regarding how many vehicles are assigned to a particular specialised squad,
the Armed Offenders Squad (AOS) for example, has been withheld under section 6(c) of the
OIA as making that information is likely to prejudice the maintenance of the law. However, I
have supplied the total number of vehicles assigned each of the specialised working groups
as you have requested, but not to such a granular level where it compromises the
confidentiality of those working groups.
I trust this information is of use to you. You have the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA, to
ask the Ombudsman to review my decision if you are not satisfied with the way I have
responded to Your request.
Your sincerely
Inspector Brian Yanko
Manager: Fleet Service Group
