umber of Police alcohol checkpoints in the Wellington Police District with any other purpose than enforcing traffic alcohol laws.
Ben Moore made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
The request was partially successful.
From: Ben Moore
Dear New Zealand Police,
I request information on the number of Police alcohol checkpoints in the Wellington Police District which have been deployed with any other purpose than enforcing traffic alcohol laws.
I request two years of information covering:
1. The total number of alcohol checkpoints deployed;
2. The total number of alcohol checkpoints deployed where the primary rationale for deployment was other than enforcing traffic alcohol laws;
3. For those identified where the primary rationale for deployment was other than enforcing traffic alcohol laws, I request details on what the alternative rationale was.
I confirm I am a New Zealand citizen, currently resident in New Zealand.
Kind Regards,
Ben Moore

Thanks for the clarification.
Yours sincerely,
