Could you also release any internal meeting minutes, emails or
 correspondence with the production company and/or Police about cancelling
 Police Ten 7 Aotearoa?
Communication regarding the decision to cancel Police Ten 7 / Ten 7
 Aotearoa took place in person internally or over the phone with the
 production company, which is standard practice at TVNZ for a cancellation
 of this nature. Therefore, we do not have any relevant minutes, emails or
 correspondence to release regarding the decision to cancel the show. Any
 discussions with the Police were handled by the production company. 
 
Does TVNZ have plans to discontinue any more similar Policing television
 programs such as Motorway Patrol and Highway Cops?
The decision to recommission or discontinue a returning programme is
 generally made prior to production on a new season beginning. There are no
 plans to discontinue Motorway Patrol or Highway Cops.
 
In accordance with Section 19(b) of the Act we advise that you have the
 right to seek an investigation and review of the above refusal by making a
 complaint under Section 28(3) to an Ombudsman.
 
Yours sincerely
OIA Team
