Voice of the People

Amanda Murtagh made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was partially successful.

From: Amanda Murtagh

Dear Commissioner of Police,

In the public interest, assuming the Police Commissioner is the voice of the people and holds the police to account, responsible for the totality of policing to cut crime and deliver an effective and efficient police service, can you please answer:

1. Who investigates the criminal actions of Police?

2. When do Police investigate the criminal actions of government?

3. When criminal actions of Police are reported to Police and Police manipulate evidence, harass, and intimidate complainant’s and this is brought to the attention of the IPCA and Police provide false information to the IPCA, who should the complainant report this to for effective and efficient policing and the holding of Police to account, when the fact is the IPCA has failed in its role to hold Police to account and Police themselves have failed to hold themselves to account?

4. When Police tamper with evidence to cover up their falsehoods and the Privacy Commissioner does not help, saying “if the police say they don’t have it, they don’t have it” – when the Police do obviously have it, because it relates to 111 calls, what should a person do about it for effective and efficient policing and the holding of Police to account?

5. When a Director of a New Zealand registered company writes to and visits the Police in person because of health and safety concerns caused by the actions of Police to the mental stability and health of staff, with the written complaint and a non-sworn Police employee refuses to organise a face-to-face meeting to have the evidence tabled against Police but instead seeks to “corroborate” evidence, what should the company Director do to comply with health and safety by holding Police to account for effective and efficient policing?

6. When the SIS is advised of the Police activity and the SIS says they can neither confirm nor deny they are aware of the activity because to answer may prejudice a future legal trial S53(c) of the Privacy Act, what should the people of New Zealand do to hold police to account to ensure there is efficient and effective policing?

7. When the Commissioner of Police is written to directly (minister copied) seeking the Police to Police themselves and to keep this matter from becoming public, asking for a face to face meeting to allow evidence to be tabled, the Commissioner has a sergeant write in a letter, exacerbating the intimidation and harassment by again refusing to grant a face-to-face meeting to table the evidence of the crimes, what should the people of New Zealand do?

8. When multiple Government security breaches regarding privacy, including ACC sensitive claim files, IRD, WINZ, Bank accounts and several private company systems are compromised, resulting in further intimidation and harassment, which points toward evidence against the police refuse to grant a face to face meeting, what should the people of New Zealand do?

9. When an employee and their employer have had threats on their lives because they were in discussions with persons claiming to represent the police on a supplier deal, what should they do?

10. When an employee and their employer are victims of attempted murder because they were in discussions with persons claiming to represent the police on a supplier deal, what should they do?

11. When Police tell victim support to not provide support when the evidence at hand indicates clearly that the crime is perpetrated by police themselves, what should the people of New Zealand do?

12. When Amnesty International were advised of the evidence, they confirm this behaviour happens in NZ and that we are lucky to not be in another country as we would already be dead, what should the people of New Zealand do?

13. Why would Police not see an employer to take a statement of the crimes being perpetrated by our Police against their employee?

14. Who Polices the Police in New Zealand?

15. How do ordinary New Zealand citizens get protection from the Police and support from their government?

16. Who protects New Zealand citizens from crimes by the Police and/or the government?

Yours faithfully,

Amanda Murtagh
