Dear Anon
Request for information
I refer to your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request dated 27 September 2024, in which
you requested the following information:
I would like a breakdown of each vehicle in the NZ Police used in an operational
context.
For each model I would like the quantity and which unit/teams they are used for.
Eg.
Skoda Superb Wagon 162KW 2WD
Total: 900
Public Safety Teams: 400
Road Policing: 200
Dog Units: 30
Community Policing: 20
Criminal Investigations Branch: 100
And so on and so on…, and then the next vehicle Etc.
That is just a rough idea of what I am requesting. A previous request made showed the
Police Vehicle Inventory as of 21 January 2022, however that is now outdated, and it
didn’t show the use for each specific vehicle model, rather it only showed the quantity of
vehicles in each team/unit per brand of vehicle.
I also request the total number of marked vehicles and unmarked vehicles in the
Operational NZ Police Fleet.
In response to part one of your request, please refer to the summarised table of information
provided in Appendix A.
All information in this appendix is subject to the following caveats:
1) This data set excludes vehicles that are classified as admin vehicles and/or non-
operational vehicles
2) Only Vehicles currently deployed in Police Districts are included.
Supplying the sub-model details of the vehicles operated by Police would require Police and
Custom Fleet to search multiple databases to provide that information and would compromise

Telephone: 04 474 9499. Fax: 04 498 7400. www.police.govt.nz
staff and vehicles attached to specialised working groups. This is operational y sensitive and
must remain confidential. For this reason, those details as outlined in your request are withheld
in full under section 6(c) of the OIA, as the releasing of the information is likely to prejudice the
maintenance of the law including the prevention, investigation and detection of offences and the
right to a fair trial.
In response to part two of your request, please refer to the table below showing the breakdown
of marked and unmarked vehicles.
Vehicle Category*
Number of Vehicles
A – Marked
1853
B – Unmarked
1116
C – Marked or Unmarked
294
* A Marked, B Unmarked and C Mixture – this category contains operational vehicles that may be Marked or Unmarked.
Al information in this response has been provided by our third-party fleet management partner,
Custom Fleet and is accurate as of 3 October 2024.
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
