Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - New Zealand Police Forensic Services and accreditation to international standards.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Dear New Zealand Police,
In the past, has any forensic service provided by the New Zealand Police been accredited to an international standard? For example, has the Document Examination Section previously been accredited to ISO/IEC 17025?
If any service has been accredited in the past, then when was that accreditation gained, when did it cease and what was the standard?
Why are New Zealand Police Forensic Services not accredited to an international standard?

Yours faithfully,

Sean Doyle

Kia ora Sean

I refer to your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request below. 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 16 June 2023.

This extension is necessary as consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit. If we can get a response to you sooner than this new extended date, we will absolutely do so.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Kind regards,
Sophie
Ministerial Services
