Police responding to Ambulance call outs

Jason made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was successful.

From: Jason

Dear New Zealand Police,

I am a New Zealand resident and wish to make a request for information under the Official Information Act.

I would like to know if Police routinely monitor ambulance dispatch communications.

Do individual officers have the ability to monitor / listen to communications between ambulance staff and dispatch?

Under what circumstances do Police attend emergency call outs requesting an ambulance for a drug overdose?

I would also like to know how many emergency call outs for drug overdoses Police attended in 2018.

Kind regards,

Jason
