Dear James

 

Request for information

 

Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request submitted
online. You requested:

 

On the 25th of March 2023 at Albert Park in Auckland, Kellie-Jay
Keen-Minshull, otherwise known as Posie Parker held a rally.

Under the OIA please provide the following:

1.            Total number of Police officers at Albert Park for the
rally. (Not the surrounding area -at the actual park)

2.            Total number of Police officers at Albert Park for the rally
undertaking surveillance work - directly recording events as they happened
and footage of the crowds in case it was required for further
investigations.

3.            The location of Police stationing points at the park as
required - due to this being a high risk event which was flagged as
confrontational by media etc.

4.            Total number of Police officers stationed at or patrolling
directly adjacent to the rotunda when Posie Parker was assaulted by an
individual tipping a substance on her, as per the Police operational plan.

5.            Total number of arrests made at Albert Park at the rally.

6.            Total number of Police officers at Albert Park for the
rally. (Not the surrounding area -at the actual park)

 

The OIA requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no
later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our
decision, to 17^th July 2023.

This extension is necessary because consultations necessary to make a
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit and/or your request necessitates a
search through a large quantity of information and meeting the original
time limit would unreasonably interfere with Police’s operations.

 

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.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

Inspector George Fanamanu

District Operations Manager Auckland City

New Zealand Police
