From: John Smith
Dear New Zealand Police,
On 13 July 2022 I made a OIA request for information.
The file number isR-01-22-21705
I did not receive the information by the due date and had to send in a reminder.
I finally received the information about 8 days late despite the fact the police had already located the information for me on 1 August 2022
It appears that the staff have failed to comply with the OI Act and police general instructions etc.
Yours faithfully,
John Smith
