during COVID-19 Alert Level 4
Dear Mr Roberts
I acknowledge receipt of your Official Information Act (OIA) request below, received by NZ
Police on 4 April 2020.
As you are aware, Police are needing to redeploy staff in the face of unprecedented
circumstances as we respond to Covid-19. This will have a severe impact on our ability to
respond to requests for information under the OIA in a timely fashion. However, we recognise
your request is a matter of high public interest, and we will do our best to respond to you as
soon as we can.
Thank you for your understanding.
Kind regards
Ministerial Services
PNHQ
