Dear James
Information Request
I refer to your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 17 October 2022 in which you
requested the following information:
1. All vehicles used and the quantity in the Waikato District (As outlined at
https:llwww.police.govt.nz/about-us/structurelpolice-districts/waikato
2. I would like it broken down by department e.g. Highway, PST. This includes
vehicles used and quantity per department
3. I would like it broken down by station/area e.g. all vehicles based out of Hamilton
Central, Ngatea, Te Kuiti etc.
4. I would like every single vehicle and its brand and model.
The information contained in the appendix is for the whole of the Waikato District where
stations such as Hamilton Central, Ngatea and Te Kuiti are located. Vehicles are often
moved around within the District to meet changing deployment and logistical demand. Due
to this fluidity, it is not possible to provide a breakdown of vehicle deployments to
station/area level. That breakdown is therefore refused under section 18(g) of the OIA, as
the information is not held.
,.
The information was sourced from the Master Fleet Summary, a document that changes
daily. This can be for several reasons, such as a vehicle reaching the end of its service and
being decommissioned, replaced by a new vehicle, or transferred to a different working
group.
The data contained in the appendix is an excerpt from the Master Fleet Summary on 19
October 2022, so any changes made since that date will not be reflected.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz
or freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
