Request for information
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request dated 23 July 2024. You
requested:
I am requesting the specific number of PR24 side handled riot control batons that
the Police currently have in their inventory. If it is at all possible a breakdown per
region would also be appreciated.
Police does not hold information about how many PR24 batons there are in inventory, nor
regarding any breakdown per Police District. Your request is refused under section 18(g)
of the OIA as the information requested is not held.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Please note that as part of its commitment to openness and transparency, Police
proactively releases some information and documents that may be of interest to the
public. An anonymised version of this response may be publicly released on the New
Zealand Police website.
