Dear New Zealand Police,

Under the OIA 1982, I would like to request information as to the job titles, roles and job descriptions of all Police officers, sworn/non-sworn uniformed/non-uniformed (please specify), that use the call signs "Agent Echo", followed by a number, e.g. Agent Echo 2, and "Agent Oscar", followed by a number, e.g. Agent Oscar 1, and a brief outline of their KPI's and/or targets and objectives.

As a citizen of New Zealand, I meet the legislative requirements to make this request. Please direct all responses to this inquiry through FYI.org.nz webserver, in accordance with the standard procedures for Official Information Act requests. I am aware of the right, under the Official Information Act, to have my request processed without needing to fill out any additional forms or provide further personal details through other channels.

Your attention to this request is highly valued, and I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

Ms S Jones.

Dear Ministerial Services/Detective Inspector Paul Berry,

The call signs in question, which you state "Police do not use the above call signs or position titles as outlined in your request.", ARE actively used call signs.

They have been actively used on the Hamilton radio frequencies by the Hamilton Police. I have heard the officers, who are using those call signs, communicating with "Comms" on a number of occasions, and "Comms" radioing specifically through to those call signs, stating those names.

If they are not official call signs or acknowledged as official Police employee positions/roles, and Ministerial Services are completely unaware of these call signs/positions/roles, are the officers using these call signs and/or the Hamilton Police, operating lawfully?

Yours sincerely,

Ms S Jones.
