Dear Sam
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request received 10 February
2025 in which you requested:
I would like to obtain procedure (if there is one), for when New Zealand Police
personnel are engaged in a high/low speed pursuit and what defines a 'pursuit'.
Police has published its Fleeing Driver policy on its website. You can access it here:
https://www.police.govt.nz/about-us/publication/fleeing-driver-policy
Your request is therefore refused under section 18(d) of the OIA as the information
requested is or wil soon be publicly available.
If you are not satisfied with the way I have responded to your request, you have the right
under section 28(3) of the OIA to ask the Ombudsman to review my decisions.
Information on how to do this is available online at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
Yours sincerely
Superintendent Steve Greal y
Director: Road Policing
