Dear New Zealand Police,

 

Subject: Official Information request - Police Manual chapters: Family
Violence Policy and Procedure; Behaviour Offences; Perjury; Precharge
Warnings

 

Dear New Zealand Police,

Could you please provide me under the Official Information Act with the
following material in searchable accessible electronic form to the email
address in this

communication:

Police Manual chapters entitled as below, or any other policies or
guidelines for prosecutions and investigations under the following
categories:

 

(1) Family Violence Policy and Procedure

(2) Behaviour Offences

(3) Perjury

(4) Precharge Warnings

(5) Prosecuting Family Violence ( deskfile) These should be provided as
email attachments in a searchable format (i.e.

original PDFs, rather than scanned prints).

 

Please note the "Prosecuting Family Violence deskfile is available on the
FYI site but I wish  to receive the the most up to date version of this
directly from Police.  Also, the "Family Violence Policy and Procedures"
file was refused in a previous request from this FYI site saying the file
was already available publically, with a link to a public location, but
that link does not work now.

If any clarification or assistance is required, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

I am a New Zealand citizen residing in New Zealand.

Please communicate only via email to this email address unless I advise
otherwise.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Alice Haden
