Subject: Official Information Act request - 2014 public place offences
in Auckland CBD by age-band

Dear New Zealand Police,

I am seeking the following:

1. I am seeking statistics for the Auckland City Central Area, by month,
for the period December 2013 - June 2014, covering:
(a) Assault offences where the scene was recorded as a "public place"
(b) All disorder offences where the scene was recorded as a "public
place"

Additionally I am seeking the distribution of each by:
(a) age band (as: 12-14, 15-17, 18-20, 21-23, 24-26, 27-29, 30-32, 32
and older bands)
(b) by hour between the hours of 1800 (6pm) and 0600 (6am)

Note: if statistics are not yet available for June please provide them
up to the most recent available month.

Please provide this as a spreadsheet as opposed to a PDF or other file
type.

Yours faithfully,

Rob Warner

Dear Mr Warner

 

I refer to your requests received on 29 July 2014 and 8 August 2014, both
made under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), relating to
information on public place disorder and assault statistics for Auckland
CBD for the period from December 2013 to June 2014.

 

As you may already be aware, Official Statistics are published three
months after the end of each fiscal (30 June) or calendar (31 December)
year. Official Statistics for the year ending 30 June 2014 are currently
under production and will not be published until 1 October 2014.
Therefore, your request for statistics for the period from December 2013
to June 2014 is refused under section 18(g) of the OIA as the information
is not held.

 

Police publish Monthly Statistics Indicators
([1]http://www.police.govt.nz/about-us/publi...)
for "Public Place Assaults" and "Disorder" offences. Monthly Statistical
Indicators are provisional and drawn from a dynamic operational database.
However, they are counted differently than Official Statistics and are not
broken down by age band or by hour band. Therefore, they are not
comparable with the Official Statistics data we have previously supplied
you with.

 

I regret that on this occasion it has not been possible to provide the
information you have requested. If you have any questions please let me
know

 

As you may already be aware, you have the right under section 28(3) of the
OIA to seek a review of my handling of your request by the Office of the
Ombudsmen.

 

Regards,

 

 

 

 

Gavin Knight

Dear New Zealand Police,

thank you for clarifying the timeline.

Please keep this request open and provide the Official Statistics when
they are published after 1 October 2014.

If I need to re-submit this request for that to happen please let me know.

Regards,

Rob Warner
