Extract of data from OIA Tracking System

Shane Gibson made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was partially successful.

From: Shane Gibson

Dear New Zealand Police,

Please provide an extract of data from the system you currently use to track information requests submitted under the Official Information Act 1982.

The extract should be in a machine readable form. This means either via a publicly accessible API or file in csv or JSON format.

The extract should have the following details in a single row for each request that was submitted:

- The title of the request.

- The date your organisation received the request

- The date of the final response from your organisation to that request, or the date you closed the request

To reduce the effort required by your organisation I am requesting records for the date range that the data is available in your OIA tracking system. For example if your OIA tracking system only holds two years of records then I am requesting data for those two years.

Yours faithfully,

Shane Gibson

New Zealand Police

Dear Mr Gibson
I refer to your request of 14 July 2020 for an extract of data from the
system used by Police to track Official Information Act (OIA) requests. 

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that Police require an
extension of time in which to respond to your request, pursuant to section
15A(1)(a) of the Official Information Act 1982, as the request
necessitates a search through a large quantity of information and meeting
the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations
of NZ Police.

Police require until 28 August 2020 to provide a substantive response to
your request. 

You have the right to complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner
about this extension.
Kind regards

Fiona

It's a shame Police have chosen to communicate their decision using an inaccessible image-based PDF. They've provided response letters in an accessible format plenty of times in the past, which is best practice, but often they've had to be asked explicitly to provide them in an accessible format.
