From: Danica N Knowles
Dear New Zealand Police,
When DNA (fingerprint, saliva) is found at a crime and entered into the NZ police database does it compare itself to all DNA the NZ police have on system until it finds a successful match?
Yours faithfully,

I refer to your request below.
I have been asked to advise you that Police requires an extension of time in which to respond to your request, pursuant to section 15A(1) of the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). Specifically section 15A(1)(b), consultations necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
Police requires until 20 February 2024 to provide a substantive response to your request, however we are endeavouring to provide this to you as soon as possible.
You have the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA, to make a complaint to an Ombudsman about this extension.
Kind regards, Michelle
