I am a New Zealand citizen.

I refer to your request of 8 November 2022 for the following information:

 

Please release each of the following Police Manual chapters:

- Association Offences

- Banking, currency and card policy

- Calibrating road policing equipment

- Control of high-power laser devices

 

For each of the Police Manual chapters listed above, please release the

b. The date on which the current version of the document came into effect.

c. The next planned review date of the document.

d. The licence under which the document and any accompanying information
is released.

 

If possible, I would prefer that the information be released under the
Creative Commons Attribute 4.0 licence (CC BY 4.0) [1], which is
recommended under the NZGOAL framework [2]. Cabinet has invited NZ Police
to take NZGOAL into account when releasing copyright material and
non-copyright material to the public for re-use [3]. If NZ Police decides
to release the documents with licenses of "Not Applicable", please state
whether NZ Police owns the copyright to the documents and if not, who
does.

 

If NZ Police decides to refuse my request under section 18(d) of the
Official Information Act 1982 because the information will soon be
publicly available, I ask that you also provide me with some detail as to
the plan for when these documents will be made publicly available.

 

Please provide this information in an accessible, searchable format
without a watermark.

Please release each listed Police Manual chapter as a separate document
(i.e. not attached to the response letter).

 

If any information needs to be withheld from a document, please ensure
this is not done in a way that makes the surrounding content (such as
other content on the same page) inaccessible.

Please provide both the reason for the removal of the information as well
as the grounds in support of that reason as outlined by section 17(2)(b)
of the Act.

 

I have been asked to advise you that Police requires an extension of time
in which to respond to your request, pursuant to section 15A(1) of the
Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). Specifically, section 15A(1)(b),
consultations necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a
proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the
original time limit.

 

Police requires until 16 December 2022 to provide a substantive response
to your request. We are endeavouring to provide this to you as soon as
possible.
You have the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA, to make a complaint to
an Ombudsman about this extension.

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this
decision, please feel free to contact
[1][email address].

Good monring J

I have forwarded your questions to the work group. A response is more than likely going to be sent through in the new year as we close down for the Christmas holiday period today. We reopen 9 January 2023, so unless I get a response this morning you will not get a response until after that time.

I hope you have a nice break over the holiday season.

Ngā mihi,

Penni

Tēnā koe,

Thank you for the response. However, there are some points I'd like addressed which were not answered or followed satisfactorily.

- "If NZ Police decides to release the documents with licenses of \"Not Applicable\", please state whether NZ Police owns the copyright to the documents and if not, who does". I do not see a response for this.
- "Please provide this information in an accessible, searchable format without a watermark". The response letter appears to be a photograph (scan), which is not searchable.
- "Please release each listed Police Manual chapter as a separate document (i.e. not attached to the response letter)". This was not done.
- "Please provide both the reason for the removal of the information as well as the grounds in support of that reason as outlined by section 17(2)(b) of the Act". Grounds were not supplied; this question was not addressed.

Ngā mihi

Good morning J Beddek

 

In relation to the ‘not applicable’ answer license terms for Police Manual
chapters are now specified on the Police website as below. This link only
went live this week so wasn’t available to add to your response last year.

[1]https://www.police.govt.nz/about-us/publ...

 

Please find the chapters and response attached as separate documents for
you.  

 

You will note in the response letter it states:

All chapters have been released in full except for the one on Calibrating
road

policing equipment which has been released in part, whereby information
has

been withheld under s9(2)(a) of the OIA to protect the privacy of natural
persons.
