Units stationed at Wellington Central Police Station

D. Greenhalgh made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was refused by New Zealand Police.

From: D. Greenhalgh

Dear New Zealand Police,

I wish to enquire and hopefully receive a list of the vehicles you hold at Wellington Central Police station. The callsign of the vehicle and its purpose is the specific information I require. A list of callsigns with the purpose listed would be helpful.

If any information cannot be released due to security concerns, I understand fully, and politely request that this information is redacted as opposed to the request being denied.

It should be noted that I am not ordinarily resident in New Zealand (instead being resident in the UK), and whilst I hold eligibility for citizenship by descent in NZ, I have not applied for it (yet) and as such do not hold NZ citizenship. You, therefore, do not have to grant my OIA request, and if for this reason, it is not possible, I understand, however, if at all possible I would greatly appreciate receiving this information.

Thank you,
D. Greenhalgh

Dear New Zealand Police,

I would like to ask if this request is still being reviewed, as it has been over a month since the last response, and I have received no information, either on FYI or via my contact information.

Many thanks,
D. Greenhalgh
