Subject: Official Information Act request - Organized Crime Groups
Operatingin NZ

     Dear New Zealand Police,
    
     This is an Official Information Act request for OFCANZ, the agency
     focused on organised crime that is hosted within the New Zealand
     Police. It was noted in the 2010 Report 'Organized Crime in New
     Zealand', published on the OFCANZ website, that there currently
     exists '30 adult gangs in New Zealand.' I would like to request
     under the Official Information Act:
    
     a) A list of each gang or transnational criminal group that
     currently operates in New Zealand
     b) For each, the geographic area in which they operate
     c) For each, the area of crime that they are thought to operate in.
     For example it is noted that the report that Vietnamese organized
     crime groups have a link to indoor cannabis growing.
    
     I would ask that if any exemptions are to apply to my request, such
     as that they be considered on a case by case basis. It might be
     public record that a certain criminal group commits a certain type
     of crime or operates in a certain area, in which case disclosing
     this is unlikely to affect ongoing investigations.
    
     Feel free to contact me if you wish me to clarify my request. I
     would prefer an electronic response delivered by email to this
     address.
    
     For the purpose of s12 I am a New Zealand citizen resident in New
     Zealand.
    
     Yours faithfully,
    
     Joshua Grainger
