Dear New Zealand Police,

I am a NZ citizen. This is an OIA request

Request 1: Threats of violence and harassment by claimants

For each year, since 01/01/2014, I request the number of ACC employees who have alleged to the police that they had been
(a) harassed by a claimant in the ACC employee’s workplace, and requested charges be brought against the claimant;
(b) threatened with an act of violence by a claimant in the ACC employee’s workplace, and requested charges be brought against the claimant;
(c) assaulted by a claimant in the ACC employee’s workplace; and requested charges be brought against the claimant.

Request 2: Method of reporting

Of those incidences in response 1, how many were reported to the police:
(a) by dialing 111 and requesting emergency services; and
(b) by using the online reporting forms and not requiring emergency services.

Request 3: Charges brought

Of those incidences in response 1, how many claimants were formally charged with:
(a) harassment of an ACC employee in the ACC employee’s workplace;
(b) threat of harm or assault (or whatever the criminal charge is) of an ACC employee in the ACC employee’s workplace;
(c) assault of an ACC employee in the ACC employee’s workplace.

Request 4: Convictions

Of those incidences in response 1, how many claimants were convicted of:
(a) harassment of an ACC employee in the ACC employee’s workplace;
(b) threat of harm or assault (or whatever the criminal charge is) of an ACC employee in the ACC employee’s workplace;
(c) assault of an ACC employee in the ACC employee’s workplace.

Thanks,
Sue

Dear Ministerial Services,

I would like to amend my request. In your response you mentioned you only did a database search for "ACC". I request you do a database search for "Accident Compensation Corporation".

Please also do a search for the following locations of the offence, which are all ACC locations listed on the ACC website (below). Please only include incidents which occurred during normal business operating hours (8 am - 5 pm), as any offence committed outside those hours are unlikely to be related to any offence of harassment or violence which is specifically targeted towards an ACC employee.
