Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 2 December 2024 to the
Department of Corrections – Ara Poutama Aotearoa, requesting the following information:
how many 501s are currently on romi orders or police databases or currently
incarcerated
Corrections needs to extend the timeframe of our response to your request by 10 working
days, pursuant to section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA, as consultations necessary to make a
decision on the request are such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit. Therefore, you can expect to receive a response to
your request by 4 February 2025. If you no longer require this information, please let us
know as soon as possible.
I hope this information is helpful. Please be advised that should you have any concerns
regarding this response you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate our
decision to extend the timeframe. Contact details are: Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box
10152, Wellington 6143.
