Ref-180511/8716
gerard byrne made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
The request was refused by New Zealand Police.
      From: gerard byrne
      
    
    Dear New Zealand Police,
can you please provide me with all Reports, memos, letters, notes, advice and emails related to the complaint made at Whangarei police station Ref-180511/8716
If information needs to be withheld I would like to request that, where possible, excisions are made rather than withholding the full document. Please let me know if you wish me to clarify my request.
I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.
For the purposes of OIA Section 12 I am both a NZ citizen and in New Zealand which satisfies the requirements. I am happy to provide evidence of this if you provide a direct email address. I am not willing to submit to presenting myself at a Police station with "suitable identification" as this is not a requirement for anyone making an OIA request. I am also unwilling to fill out a specific OIA request form. As the Office of the Ombudsman have made clear on a number of occasions, valid OIA requests are possible through any and all official channels for a department, extending as far as Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Yours faithfully,
gerard byrne
        New Zealand Police
      
    
    Good afternoon
  
 We have received your request and are processing it under the Privacy Act.
 The file you have requested contains your personal information. We will
 need to confirm your identity and you can do that directly to this email
 address. Are you able to confirm that we are to send the response to this
 to the FYI website you have provided? This is not our preferred process
 for Privacy Act responses as your personal information, which is
 information we would not release to another requester or the public, will
 be publicly available as PDFs soon as we send it, and will remain publicly
 available. However, you have the right to have your information sent to
 your preferred address and if this is your preference we will abide by
 that.
  
 Nga mihi
