Request for information
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 18 October 2022
for the following:
I would like to make a request for information relating to the participation of
Police staff in last week's New Zealand Institute of Intelligence Professionals
Conference.
According to the conference agenda, Deputy Chief Executive Mark Evans and
Inspector Glen Burrell participated in the conference as
speakers. The agenda
can be viewed here:
https:llconference.nziip.org.nzlwp-contentluploads/2022109/NZIIP-Conference-
2022-Runsheet.pdf
I would like to request copies of all speech notes, talking points and
presentations (e.g. PowerPoint slides) prepared for their participation in this
conference.
Please find attached a copy of the presentation given by Deputy Chief Executive Mark
Evans. One picture has been withheld under section 9(2)(a) of the OIA to protect
personal privacy. Police considers the interests requiring protection by withholding the
information are not outweighed by any public interest in release of the information.
Inspector Glen Burrell has advised that his comments were ad lib so there is no written
copy of these. This part of your request is therefore refused under section 18(e) of the
OIA on the grounds that the document requested does not exist.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision if you are not satisfied
with the response to your request. Information about how to make a complaint is
available at: www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.

Defining the role of the Analyst – Referent Power
(Aleksandra Bielska – iIntelligence)
In intelligence, influence is often equated with expertise.
However, real influence is largely a matter of referent power.
“Referent power denotes the ability to positively influence those
around you, to inspire and motivate those eager to improve
themselves. Referent power gives you recognition and respect,
qualities that cannot be forced, only earned. It is critical to
teamwork and collaboration, and to ensuring a healthy and
productive workplace”
Tactical Intelligence - Outcomes
•
Intelligence will never outperform the decision-making
structures it is there to support
•
By changing the thinking of a few key individuals
•
Real influence is a matter of referent power
•
It’s purpose is to help one side win
