Also, NZ Police recently released what should be a complete list of all current Police Manual chapters, as of May 2022, and "All Exhibits and Property" was not included in that list. Are you sure this document exists under this name, if it is supposed to be a current Police Manual chapter? https://fyi.org.nz/request/19200-police-...

I just realised when revisiting this request that, of course, "All exhibits and property" was referring to all seven chapters that exist in the "Exhibits and property" section. Sorry if my earlier annotation was confusing, I'm sure Police won't make the same mistake I did.

Police have proactively published all "Exhibits and Property" Police Manual chapters today.

I'm currently in the process of loading them into https://policepolicy.nz, but they are currently available on the Police website here: https://www.police.govt.nz/about-us/publ...

It looks like they were all extracted on 22 August.

Yesterday, NZ Police proactively released a new version of the "Trespass" Police Manual chapter.

It's currently available on their website here, though it will disappear if/when they upload a new version: https://www.police.govt.nz/about-us/publ...

Here's a link to the specific version of the "Trespass" chapter that was published yesterday, archived on policepolicy.nz: https://policepolicy.nz/policies/trespas...

I'm sure you will have seen it in NZ Police's response, but all chapters in the "Drugs" section of the Police Manual except section 6 were proactively released in July 2022: https://www.police.govt.nz/about-us/publ...

In the proactive release, NZ Police said that chapter 6 was cancelled in 2020 due to overlap with the Surveillance section:

"Please note that Part 6 is not listed - it was cancelled in 2020 as it repeated sections of the 'Surveillance' chapter."
