Use of police resources in Tairawhiti Policing Area on 24 March to 26 March 2024

Matahiwi made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Matahiwi to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Matahiwi

Dear New Zealand Police,

Please advise how many sworn police officers were deployed to guard the rainbow crossing in Gisborne on 26 March, 27 March and 28 March.

Please also provide the number of other calls for Police assistance in the Tairawhiti Area during the times that officers were deployed to guard the rainbow crossing, noting:
- the police code(s) and priority ranking given to for each call/event
- the length of time that it took for officers to respond in person to each of those calls/events (i.e. the length of time it took for an officer to be recorded as 10-7)
- the number of officers/units that responded to each of those calls/events.
- the first result code that was applied to each of those calls/events and how long after the initial call was received it took for that result code to be applied

To be absolutely clear, I am not asking for any information that would in any way breach a person's privacy such as names or addresses, but simply for the standard police codes e.g. Call 1 - 1M, P1, first officers arrived on scene 6 minutes after the initial call, three units attended in total, K9 recorded 15 minutes after first call.

Thanks in advance

Yours faithfully,

Sarah
