Dear Requestor
I refer to your online Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 22 June 2023, in which
you ask:
A request dated May 21, 2012 was made to Police by Joshua Grainger:

Please advise whether the Police manuals and/or guidelines provided in said
request have since been updated and, if so, for the up-to-date versions to be
provided here.
In response to your request, I have reviewed the original 2012 OIA you referenced and
have ascertained that you are referring to the Police Investigative Interviewing chapters. I
can advise you that these chapters have been updated since 2012, and that I am
declining your request pursuant to section 18(d) of the OIA as the information requested is
publicly available from the following link:

If you are not satisfied with my response to your request, you have the right to refer the
matter to the Ombudsman. Information about how to make a complaint is available at:
