Use of term to "poll"

Carol Rene made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was successful.

From: Carol Rene

Dear New Zealand Police,

I request the following information under the Official Information Act (OIA): if a Police officer refers to the act of 'polling' the smartphone of an individual, using the word "poll", is it likely that they are referring to some process by which police can find the physical location of that smartphone? If so, I request copies of internal Police policy on this process. If not, I request other acts that this term could refer to.

Yours faithfully,
Carol Rene

Tēnā koe Carol

 

I refer to your request of 7 December 2021 for the following information:

if a Police officer refers to the act of 'polling' the smartphone of an
individual, using the word "poll", is it likely that they are referring to
some process by which police can find the physical location of that
smartphone? If so, I request copies of internal Police policy on this
process. If not, I request other acts that this term could refer to.

 

Unfortunately we will not be able to meet the extended due date of 25
January 2022.

 

I can confirm that a response to your request is being drafted and will
then progress through our internal consultation process. I am unable to
confirm a release date at this stage.

 

Please accept our apologies for the delay in providing you with a response
to your query. We are endeavouring to provide this to you as soon as
possible.
