Request for information
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 28 January 2025. You
requested:
Can you please confirm any agencies contacted with respect to the homeless
people involved in Operation Trolley (people with trolleys confiscated or who
were arrested or trespassed). Just a basic list of agencies is fine - nothing
specific. I am just seeking to understand if any help was sought or referral
made for these people
The individuals that Police spoke with were given advice about partner agencies and
referrals. The referral agencies that Police offered were Manaaki Ora, Mental Health
Support and Moving Mountains NA. The individuals were also offered AWHI referrals.
A number of people police spoke with indicated that they are currently working with
agencies.
Please note that as part of its commitment to openness and transparency, Police
proactively releases some information and documents that may be of interest to the
public. An anonymised version of this response may be publicly released on the New
Zealand Police website.
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.
