Publishing a persons private info online
Michael South Junior made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
The request was successful.
From: Michael South Junior
Dear New Zealand Police Professional Standards department,
I am a NZ citizen and I request to know
1. Is a policeman allowed to take an email address he obtained as a policeman and put that email address in the public domain and encourage people to send emails to the email address he published on line?
2. Where a policeman receives an email to his police email address is he allowed to take that email address he received an email from and send the person an email from his personal email address?
3. Are either of the above actions something Police would investigate if the victim notified police that both of these things happened?
4. Under any police rules, guidelines or policy’s would a senior policeman who was notified of both of the above incidents be obliged to take action or are they allowed to ignore the notification?
5. Can I have a copy of any police rules that are about social media and the public domain as well as information a policeman gets through police sources or their police email address.
Yours faithfully,
Michael South Junior

It's been a year now since this response was received, but I see it's now been categorised so email notifications have gone out about it. In July 2022, two months following this response, NZ Police published a more complete version of the "Social Media" chapter of the Police Manual on their website. I've published information about both versions, as well as the files themselves, on policepolicy.nz:
