From: Joshua Grainger

Dear New Zealand Police,

I would like to request under the Official Information Act any manuals any manuals or guidelines that the New Zealand Police prepare, give out, or make available to staff instructing on the interrogation of suspects or witnesses (including at the Police College).

If this request consists of too much information to simply give copies of all, could I please receive the titles of any relevant documents so that I may select those that appear most relevant to me.

Feel free to email me if you wish me to clarify my request. I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

Yours faithfully,

Rang them; they clarified that there are three main documents, and then other, more specialized and practical training exercises that are developed from these documents. I asked for the three main documents, and then a list of the titles of the practical training exercises.
