Purpose of National Gang database.

Jack Hulls made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was successful.

From: Jack Hulls

Dear New Zealand Police,

I want to get a better understanding of the purpose of the National Gang Database.

What is the purpose of the database?

What gets a person added to the database?

How/why would a person get removed from the database?

Would the database list people who are dead?

Would the database list people who have left New Zealand?

Yours faithfully,

Jack Hulls

NZ Police has acted unlawfully here, and it seems clearly unreasonable that they did not try to contact you ahead of the legal due date of your request to inform you that they would fail to meet their legal obligations here.

I recommend you complain to the Ombudsman about this: https://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/get-...
