Dear Joe
I refer to your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request dated 20 October 2023 for
information regarding your infringement notice PR6597494.
You requested:
I request the calibration report for the Speed Camera used.
Please find enclosed the Certificate of Accuracy for the mobile safety camera that
captured the offence in question.
Under section 146 of the Land Transport Act 1998, all operational speed detection
equipment, including safe speed cameras, radars, lasers, and vehicle speedometers are
required to be calibrated annual y. The responsibility for testing and certification rests with
Police Calibration Services, an International Standards Accredited Laboratory, based in
Wel ington.
Police is committed to reducing the number of deaths and serious injuries on our roads
and has no tolerance for speeding at any time of the year. Al drivers have the
responsibility to ensure their speed is safe and within the applicable limit. Evidence
shows a direct correlation between mean travel speeds and the risk of death or serious
injury crashes. For every 1 km/h reduction in mean speeds there is a 5 percent reduction
in road trauma which equates to 16 lives saved each year.
It should be noted that information requested under the OIA runs separately to the
infringement process. Therefore, continued correspondence with Police in regard to these
matters does not remove your obligation to either request a court hearing or pay the
infringement fee by the final due date.

I certify that I tested this Approved Vehicle Surveillance Equipment in accordance with technical procedure
CU31, at the speeds specified in the Laboratory Tests panel above and found the device to be recording
accurate speed measurements. This device has a measurement uncertainty of +- 1 km/h when measuring
an unknown speed. This device was also subjected to a road test and the data produced by this camera
indicated the device was functioning correctly and producing accurate speed readings.
The tuning forks specified in this certificate were tested and found to oscillate correctly to produce a
simulated speed as indicated on the fork.
I, being a member of the New Zealand Police duly authorised for the purpose by the Commissioner of
Police, certify pursuant to Section 146 of the Land Transport Act 1998 that the said device was tested on
the date below and is accurate.
