Dear New Zealand Police,
As a normative citizen of New Zealand who gives respect to the public wellfare and to those whose work is to officially serve and protect us, I assume that such official information requested under the Official Information Act will serve for the benefit of the public.
1. I hence would like to request for an official information about the issues listed below: (For all subsections in this section kindly refer to the period of 1st-January-2017 to 31st-December-2017)
1.a. In Rodney District, as a whole (i.e., for all of the Police stations located/registered within this district) how many overworked hours (sometimes the term "overtime work" is used) had been worked by Policemen with a tenure of up to 2 years at work?
(To further illuminate:
*** "Tenure of up to 2 years" relates only to the tenure of the Policemen in question at the time they worked those additional hours.
*** "Overworked hours" relates only to 2 hours or more per shift per a Policeman)
1.b.1. With regards to subsection (1.a.) above, were those specific, aforementioned Policemen paid for the overtime/Overworked hours?
1.b.2. If only partially paid, kindly advise what ratio of the total aformentioned overworked hours were paid to those Policemen.

1.d.1. With regards to subsection (1.a.) above, what ratio of those specific, aforementioned Policemen took/was given a stress-leave (or any leave equivalent by meaning to stress-leave) during the period of time in question?
1.d.2. With regards to subsections (1.d.1) above, what is the ratio between those under-2-years-tenure Policemen who took/were given a stress-leave and the entire Policemen force in this district ("entire" means both under and over 2 years of tenure)?
2. Also, as a New Zealander who academically researched in the field of safety, health and drugs, I would like to get the information about:
2.a. the prevalence rates of Methamphetamine use, dealing, and manufacturing in those areas listed below (kindly yield the information regarding the past 5 years and, separately, regarding the past year of 2017):
A. Rodney District;

2.b. the occurrence rates related to finding of new, so-called 'Meth Labs' during the past 5 years, per month, in

Hello Ryan,
Thank you for contacting me yesterday in regards to your OIA.
To confirm changes to your OIA
Re question 2A Police and NDIB do not hold prevalence data. Police will
supply data for the last 5 years for the Waitematä District on the number
of people who were charged with possession, supply, manufacture and
importation of Methamphetamine.
NDIB will provide seizure date as per your request. Where you have
references to the Rodney District we will now refer the location as the
Waitematä District and obtain data for that location, as this will give
you a better representation of the data.
Can you please respond to this email confirming the changes to the OIA

Dear Mr Collins
The purpose of this email is to notify you that Police requires an
extension of time in which to respond to your request, pursuant to section
15A(1) of the Official Information Act 1982, because the request
necessitates a search through a large quantity of information and
consultations such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.
Police require until 21 February 2018 to provide a substantive response to
your request.
You have the right to complain to the Office of the Ombudsmen about this
extension.
Kind regards
Salote Talagi

Dear TALAGI, Salote,
Thank you for the update.
There is no issue from my end in regards to the extension of time necessary for the aforementioned completion of the data gathering requested by the Police.
Yours sincerely,
Ryan Collins
From: SEDGWICK, Alexandria
New Zealand Police
Dear Mr Collins
I refer to your Official Information Act request of 12 January 2018 in
which you asked for the ‘number of people who were charged with
possession, supply, manufacture and importation of Methamphetamine in
Waitemata District for the last 5 years’.
Pursuant to section 15A of the Official Information Act 1982, I have been
asked to advise you of the requirement to extend the time limit to respond
to your request. The period of the extension is until 28 February 2018.
The reason for the extension is that the consultations necessary to make a
decision on the request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.
You have the right, under section 28(3) of the Official Information Act
1982, to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision to extend
the time limit for deciding upon your request.
Yours sincerely
Ali

Dear Ryan,
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
I refer to part 2(a) your Official Information Act request dated 16
January 2018 in which you requested the following information:
“2.a. the prevalence rates of Methamphetamine use, dealing, and
manufacturing in those areas listed below (kindly yield the information
regarding the past 5 years and, separately regarding the past year of
2017):
A. Rodney District;
B. All Auckland districts as a whole, and
C. New Zealand”
The attached table show proceedings against offenders for
Methamphetamine/Amphetamine offences for the period from January 2013 to
September 2017 as follows:
· Number of proceedings against offenders broken down by the
requested areas, year and offence type.
· Rate of proceedings against offenders per 10,000 population
broken down by the requested areas, year and offence type.
A proceeding counts each separate occasion when Police deal with an
alleged offender for one or more offences. Proceedings are usually
classified according to the most serious offence that the offender is
dealt with for on that occasion. This offence might not be the
methamphetamine offence. The attached table present counts of all
proceedings involving at least one methamphetamine offence irrespective of
whether that was the most serious offence in the proceeding. Please note
therefore that these figures may differ to figures published elsewhere.
Part 1 and 2(b) of your request will be answered separately by other
groups within Police.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. You can contact my
office by emailing [1][email address]
If you are not satisfied with my response to your request you have the
right to complain to the Office of the Ombudsmen and seek an investigation
and review of my decision.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Gavin Knight

Dear New Zealand Police,
Thank you for answering the issue I have asked with regards to drug use.
However, as of today, 13th April 2018, it is noted that New Zealand Police has absolutely neglected the first topic of my request for data, that is part one of my original email.
I would kindly like to understand why there was no response from New Zealand Police with that regard. Kindly note that almost three months have passed by without an official, adequate response from your side in that regard. I am certain that after such a lengthy period of time there is absolutely no extension of time needed.
I hereby request New Zealand Police to respond to this message during the next 7 working days, giving the information requested three months ago.
Yours faithfully,
Ryan Collins
New Zealand Police
Thank you for your email. Have forward this on so that someone can get
