Subject: Official Information request - Request for Information on
Complaints and Remedies Related to Constable Identification

 

Dear Independent Police Conduct Authority,

 

I acknowledge that the Independent Police Conduct Authority is not subject
to the Official Information Act 1982. However, I kindly request your
assistance in providing the following information regarding police
constable identification:

 

1. Has the IPCA received complaints concerning police constables refusing
to identify themselves when interacting with members of the public?

If so, how many such complaints have been lodged in the past five years?

What were the general findings or outcomes of these complaints?

 

2. Are there specific recommendations or guidelines issued by the IPCA to
address such complaints, either for the public or for the New Zealand
Police?

 

3. What recourse or remedies does the IPCA suggest or endorse for members
of the public when a constable refuses to identify themselves?

 

4. Are there existing reports, case studies, or publications by the IPCA
addressing broader accountability issues related to police officer conduct
in public interactions? If available, I would appreciate access to these
documents.

 

I make this request as a New Zealand citizen and would appreciate your
response being provided through the fyi.org.nz website.

 

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your response.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Lance D. Lavery
