Time taken to respond to requests

J Dough made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

Response to this request is delayed. By law, New Zealand Police should normally have responded promptly and by (details and exceptions)

From: J Dough

Dear New Zealand Police,

Can the NZ Police provide a breakdown to show the time taken to respond to requests made under the Official Information Act 1982.

This should cover the last 5 years, with the mean, mode and median values for requests made, broken out into urgent (Section 12(3) requests) and non-urgent, plus outcome, i.e. if answered in full, answered in part or not answered (e.g. refused due to the Privacy Act, national security, etc.).

Please provide a copy of any documentation, including processes and procedures, that cover how a Section 12 request, both urgent and non-urgent, is handled by the NZ Police.

As per Section 12 of the Official Information Act 1982 I can confirm that I am entitled to make requests under this Act as I satisfy criteria as listed in Section 12(1) as being someone who may make requests under the Act, which includes residing in New Zealand.

All information should be shared via the FYI.org.nz website (as per the guidance on https://fyi.org.nz/body/new_zealand_police).

Yours faithfully,

J Dough
