-2)The percentage of people that were shot by Police from 2009 - 2019 in New Zealand and what percentage of these people were Maori or Pacific.

The following infomration you requested is not held by the Minsitry of Justice.

-2)The percentage of people that were shot by Police from 2009 - 2019 in New Zealand and what percentage of these people were Maori or Pacific

However, on February 27th I consulted the New Zealand Police and they advised they hold this information. I have therefore transferred this part of your request to the the New Zealand Police under section 14 of the OIA. You will hear from the AGENCY regarding your request in due course.  You have the right under section 28(3) of the OIA to complain to the Ombudsman about the decision to transfer your request. The Ombudsman may be contacted by writing to PO Box 10-152, Wellington.
