Dear New Zealand Police,

I request the number of incidents per year since 2019 that NZ Police have been called to or are aware of on Wellington's Church Street.

Kia ora Dan

I have referred your clarification queries regarding the use of the terms, '"Information" and " public relations" in table 1 of your attached response to our appropriate team.

I can advise the following:

Police uses offence, incident, or task codes to categorise what a record relates to. Records that relate to allegations of a breach of a law are coded as offences. Records that relate to situations that are not a breach of a law, but where there is a responsibility for Police to act, are coded as incidents. Examples of incidents include ‘vehicle crash’ and ‘missing person’.

Records that relate to tasks represent a range of other actions and responses that are not included in Offences or Incidents. Incident and Task codes do not have documented definitions.

2P – Public Relations covers a wide range of scenarios that fall short of an Offence or Incident. In general, there is a request for a Police presence to help a member of the public.
2I – Information covers a wide range of situations where the public want to share information of a general nature (that does not relate to an offence or incident), or request an update on a previous request.

I have reviewed the 54 2P events and in summary they could be described as the callers requesting some advice. For example, someone wanted to know where to get new car registration plates, or asking how to report a missing wallet, or how to go about finding a phone the person left in an uber vehicle, or where parties were upset at each other and police attended and gave them a lift to another location (following determination that there was no offence), or informant advising seeing a dog locked in a car, but it was freed shortly after, or a person was calling to request an update on a file, or a person requesting for a welfare check on another person.

2I and 2P can often be used in similar situations.

I trust that assists.

Dear Ministerial Services,

Apologies - could you also define what "Information" means in the CAD too?

Yours sincerely,
