Dear C Morton 
Request for information 
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 16 
September 2022, in which you requested: 
I would like to request a copy of the footage from the Eagle (Police 
Helicopter) taken during the Pursuit and Firearms incident involving 
a stolen BMW and carjacked vehicle that took place in the 
El erslie/Penrose area on Thursday 15th July 2021. 
I would like to request the footage for the entire duration of the 
incident, from the time Eagle located the stolen BMW SUV, to the 
time that Eagle left the scene of the shooting at Great South Road 
and South Eastern Highway. 
I would also like to request a copy of the critical incident 
investigation report pertaining to the above incident. 
Your request has been declined under s6(c) of the OIA, as the making 
available of the information would be likely to prejudice the maintenance of 
the law, including the prevention, investigation, and detection of offences 
and the right to a fair trial. 
If you have any questions, you may contact 
[email address]. 
You have the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA, to ask the Ombudsman 
to review my decision if you are not satisfied with Police’s response to your 
request. Information about how to make a complaint is available at: 
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz. 
Yours sincerely 
Inspector Vaughn Graham
