Dear New Zealand Police,

Under the Official Information Act I request information relating to section 141 of the Land Transport Act 1998, which states:
141Provisions relating to infringement fees
(1) The infringement fee payable in respect of an infringement offence is the appropriate infringement fee prescribed in respect of the relevant offence by or under this Act.
(2) If an infringement fee is paid to an enforcement authority other than the Police, the enforcement authority must give the Commissioner the particulars of the infringement and of the payment that the Commissioner requires.
(3) Subject to subsections (4) and (5), all infringement fees received under this Act by an enforcement authority or recovered under the Summary Proceedings Act 1957 must be paid into a Crown Bank Account, except that the enforcement authority may retain any portion of the fees so received that the Minister of Finance from time to time approves as being the expenses incidental to their collection.

Accordingly, how much in fines we collected and paid into this crown account for the last 5 years (each year) and for each year how much has NZ police been able to keep for "expenses incidental to their collection".
Additionally what is the current balance of the crown account and what are the funds used for.

Yours faithfully,

Adam

Further to your OIA response query re IR-01—23-22175 of 4 August 2023, the
workgroups that responded to your request advise:

revenue' is reflected in?

       Police refer you to page 104 of the Annual Report, line item
"Infringement Fees".
