Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - Police Kaumatua

 

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not

the content is safe.

 

 

Dear New Zealand Police,

 

Please provide a list of all Police Kaumatua that have been in the role
since 2020.

 

Are Police Kaumatua vetted and does vetting include a Police Check?

 

What convictions are allowable for Police Kaumatua?

 

Are there any current or previous Police Kaumatua who haven't been police
checked?

 

Has Jeff Haimona Tukua also known as Jeff Tukua ever been employed by New
Zealand Police in any official capacity? If so what role or roles? Paid or
unpaid or both? Including koha.

 

How much was he paid if anything by New Zealand Police?

 

What were those payments in exchange for and when?

 

Has anyone at New Zealand Police vetted Jeff Tukua for his Police Kaumatua
role or any role? Yes/No

 

If "no", why not?

 

Does anyone at New Zealand Police monitor media articles about Police
officers and request amendments and retractions where appropriate e.g
where false information is printed in a caption or in the article?

 

Do New Zealand Police think it is appropriate for a person who can't pass
a police check is used to help officially open a police station? Yes/No.

In particular someone who has convictions that are disallowed under the
Vulnerable Children's Act 2014. Yes/No

 

Is it appropriate for uniformed police officers to be photographed with
convicted criminals in an official capacity? If so when?

 

Do New Zealand Police concede that having photographs with uniformed
police may give the perception that they are a safe person?

 

Do the New Zealand Police concede such photographs may put children in
danger especially in this case where Jeff Tukua has attended at least
three primary schools since being photographed with uniform police (all
publicly recorded on social media or school websites or on One News)?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Nikki Phillips

Tēnā koe Nikki,

 

Thank you for your information request. Your reference number is
IR-01-23-2570

 

The Official Information Act 1982 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 29^th September 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.

 

You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision if you are
not satisfied with Police’s response to your request. You can find more
information at
[1]http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/make-....
