Dear New Zealand Police,

Under the O.I.A I am wanting to get ___ questions answered.

I am a New Zealand citizen, and am writing today to request;

-1) The number of paid police informant's in New Zealand?

-2) The number of paid police informants living/lived in Nelson and Tasman districts ?

-3) How much has been spent on police informants;
A. From Nelson in the last 10 years?
B. From Tasman in the last 10 years?
C. From New Zealand in last 10 years.?

4) How is cost calculated and approached/discussed? Eg how do you determine how much to pay informant? How does information get provided to you? Does arrest or conviction have to occur in order for payment? Is payment taxed?

Yours faithfully,

Kathy Hurst
