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,
