Dear New Zealand Police,
You use an ALERT which places a red flag on an individual's name which states 'Mental Health'. A constable is able to place this alert on someone without evidence of 'mental health' being an issue. You are able to refuse to remove it even when provided with a medical certificate which states that there is no mental health issue or history.

Please provide counts for the following demographic breakdown of the profiles that have a 1M alert:

Other gender identity under 20
