Police Vehicles in NZ
Joshua Rogers made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
The request was partially successful.
From: Joshua Rogers
Dear New Zealand Police,
I am writing to request information on vehicles currently owned and operated by the New Zealand Police.
I would like the following information in an excel spreadsheet or CSV file format.
- A list of all police vehicles registrations, make/models and operational use.
- Amount of vehicles operated strictly by the Armed Offender Squad.
- Amount of vehicles with marked liveries.
- Amount of vehicles unmarked with police liveries.
- Amount of Booze Buses and Paddy Wagons nationwide.
- Amount of Delta/Dog specific vehicles.
- Total amount of Police Vehicles in operation.
- With each of these please include their operational base/station (E.g - Counties Manukau)
Yours faithfully,
Joshua Rogers

@Mr Rodgers - They both have the same meaning, I'm not sure what you are implying with "half a police car". I'm sure the NZ Police will completely understand but thanks for the input.

I'm sorry, I'm just being pedantic.
If you were baking a cake, the "number" of eggs would be specified (say 2). The "amount" of flour would also be specified, (say 3 to 3 1/2 cups).
"Amount" or "quantity" is a measure of something like a volume or weight. "Number" is the count of something.

Just to be pedantic Mr Rodgers, technically you could you less than a whole vehicle.
A quick Google search shows that a Holden VF Commodore wagon has a mass of around 1,866kg. The engine block is roughly 200kg.
Therefore if a Police Holden VF Commodore Wagon is needing an engine replacement and the engine block is no longer in the vehicle, this would equate to 1,666kg out of 1,866kg = 0.89 of the vehicle.

"Number" of vehicles, not "amount". You can't have half a police car.
