Subject: Official Information Act request - OIA requests to NZP processed
within appropriate timeframes.

Dear New Zealand Police,

I am a resident of this wonderful country, and all of my details
confirming this are held by NZ Police. If you require any evidence to
substantiate my eligibility, consult your own records.

For the period between 1st May 2014 and 30th April 2015 :
How many requests (received within those dates) for information under the
auspices of the OIA have been:
Processed to completion within the appropriate timeframe.
Refused within the appropriate timeframe.
Processed to completion outside the appropriate timeframe.
Refused outside the appropriate timeframe.
Remain outstanding.
Any other status not included in the above groups, so that the sum of
requests contained within these six groups equals the sum of OIA requests
in total.

Yours faithfully,
Kilian O'Gorman

Dear Mr O'Gorman

I refer to your following information request of 14 May 2015

I am a resident of this wonderful country, and all of my details
confirming this are held by NZ Police. If you require any evidence to
substantiate my eligibility, consult your own records.

For the period between 1st May 2014 and 30th April 2015 :
How many requests (received within those dates) for information under the
auspices of the OIA have been:
Processed to completion within the appropriate timeframe.
Refused within the appropriate timeframe.
Processed to completion outside the appropriate timeframe.
Refused outside the appropriate timeframe.
Remain outstanding.
Any other status not included in the above groups, so that the sum of
requests contained within these six groups equals the sum of OIA requests
in total.

The purpose of this email is to notify you that Police require an
extension of time in which to respond to your request, pursuant to section
15A(1)(b) of the Official Information Act 1982, because the request
necessitates a search through a large quantity of information and
consultations such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit. Police require until 19 June 2015
to provide a substantive response to your request. 

 

You have the right to complain to the Office of the Ombudsmen about this
extension.

Subject: Re: reply to an information request

Dear MCMAHON, Teresa,

Thankyou for your response.

I accept and understand that partially or fully refused OIA's are difficult to compile retrospectively.

Would you kindly confirm that, in total, the OIAs received/processed by NZPolice amount to :
8234 (completed within timeframe)
1942 (completed outside timeframe)
406 outstanding.

THis amounts to more than 10,500 OIA requests to NZP in one year, or more than 200 per week.
It appears a staggering amount of work to process - without knowing what proportion are refused- either completely or partially.
It may be worthwhile considering a more detailed record of whether they are completed satisfactorily, or refused, and if so on what grounds.

But I'm sure you have better things to be getting along with...Nevertheless, thanks again.

Yours sincerely,

Kilian O'Gorman

Yours sincerely,

Kilian O'Gorman
