Subject: Official Information Act request - Use of psychics by NZ Police

     Dear New Zealand Police,
    
     What is the official policy on consulting psychics?
    
     What is the official policy on unsolicited information from a
     source identified as psychic in origin?
    
     In the past ten years has the New Zealand Police force consulted
     psychics or mediums for any type of assistance in open
     investigations?
    
     For each case please state whether the consultation contributed
     useful new information that led to the successful resolution of the
     case.
    
     For each case, regardless of resolution, please list associated
     costs of the consultation.
    
     I am a New Zealand citizen and so am eligible to make requests
     under the Official Information Act.
    
     Yours faithfully,
     Timothy Atkin
