Tēnā koe Cybergranny,

Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request, received by Police on 20 November 2023. You requested:
"Why do the New Zealand Police not have a formal policy relating to severe domestic abuse crimes to ensure a victim is vindicated in a court of law, and the best anti-corruption from corrupt police is eradicated".

The OIA does not support requests where an opinion, comment, argument, or hypothetical statement is put to Police for response, couched as a request for information.
Police have a manual chapter you may be interested in. This is titled 'Family harm: Policy and procedures' and is publicly available here: https://www.police.govt.nz/about-us/publ...

If you would like some guidance on how to make a n official request for information, there is guidance available for requestors on the Ombudsman's website here: https://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/reso...

I hope you find this information useful.

You have the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision if you are not satisfied with the way I have responded to your request.

Ngā mihi,
Courtenay
Ministerial Services - Police National Headquarters
