Police protocol
richard Williams made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
The request was partially successful.
From: richard Williams
Dear New Zealand Police,
I am interested to know as to what minimum requirements police are to observe when supplied with details of theft and Registration of offenders vehicle registration number .
Who is reponsible for following up on reported crime?
Would it be deemed breach of privacy rights if Police were to leave police files behind during investigation that resulted in sensitive information being released.
What rights does a citizen have when raided by police in a wrongfull warrant,after repairing broken windows during employment at crime scene, before police had fingerprinted area,
Yours faithfully,
Richard Williams

Dear Teresa Mcmahon,
In response to the first question I required information .
As i am unable to find any information on police case management or standard police procedure I wish to ask this question first hand.
As there must be a system in place to deal deal with either offenders or victims of crime.
I am aware some instances cases are filtered , although these are still lodged under both parties police record.
Although this is somewhat unfair as in the saying 'innocent until proven guilty in a court of law'
As the case I am refering to is of somewhat past occurence and i dont wish to cause any entrapment on your part with supplying infomation without knowing the full case ,and I do not wish to provide details on this public site.
question : what are police requirements as to .
1 )legal drawing of raffles or lotteries .
2) Police being provided with information of raffle organiser prior to any drawing of a lottery or raffle .
3) following up on reported theft of winning ticket by organiser involved.
If you wish to be provided with more information, please provide me with contact e-mail
Yours faithfully,
richard Williams

Dear MCMAHON, Teresa,
thankyou for your timely response.
Im fully aware of legislation required to be observed depending on class of lottery conducted.
This theft was reported immediately after incident.
I only ask what would be the standard Police protocol after reporting this type of crime .
Would Police follow up with D.I.A through course of investigation?
Would Police normally follow up with complainant ?
Yours sincerely,
Richard Williams

New Zealand Police
Dear Mr Williams
Could you clarify what you are referring to by "this type of crime".
I would then be happy to treat your request as an Official Information Act request for the relevant chapters of the Police Manual.
Yours sincerely
Teresa McMahon
