Police Code of Conduct complaint statistics

Alex Harris made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was successful.

From: Alex Harris

Dear New Zealand Police,

I would like to request the following information under the Official Information Act 1982:

* how many complaints of Breaches of the Police Code of Conduct were made against police employees in 2011?
* how many of those complaints were upheld? How many were denied? How many are still being resolved?
* any statistical breakdown of the most common causes of complaints and their resolution rate (insofar as that information is held by police)
* any statistical breakdown of the severity of complaints, and their resolution rate (insofar as that information is held by police; if you do not classify complaints by severity, then obviously you can't answer)

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris
