Dear New Zealand Police,

Thank you for your reply to this request for official information.

I wish to raise a few points with you in regards to your response:
- The response letter states that a copy of the "Contract for Services" was attached. This document was not attached, I request that you send this through.
- My initial request also asked for a copy of the policy relating to the Auror platform. Please clarify if there is, or is not, a Police policy around the Auror platform.
- I note that there are two grounds for redaction of some of the requested information. I ask that you please annotate these redactions so I am able to see what grounds for redaction certain parts of the document fall under. This will then guide me in making a decision around making a complaint with the Ombudsman's office.

Yours faithfully,

Thomas Holmes

Zealand Police

 
Good morning Mr Holmes. I wanted to come back to you about the matters you
raised below, even though I cant at this stage provide you with
everything.
 
Firstly, I can confirm that there is no specific Police policy around the
Auror platform. 
 
In relation to being able to see the grounds for redaction  on the "Auror
NZ Police Guidelines" document. I have asked for that to be done and I
will forward that on to you. I anticipate this will be done early next
week.
 
Regarding the "Contract for Services" document that was not sent to you as
part of the original email, I can only apologise for this oversight.
However I notice that the grounds for redaction have not been included on
the redacted document either. I have asked that this is corrected also,
and I will forward it to you along with the Guidelines. If however you
would like a copy of it as it is, please let me know and I will email it
directly.
 
My apologies once again. Kind regards, Megan
