ROCC and Methamphetamine Harm in Northland
Dan Tasman made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Dan Tasman to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Dan Tasman
Dear New Zealand Police,
Under the Official Information Act 1982, I am requesting information regarding the NZ Police’s involvement in the Resilience to Organised Crime in Communities (ROCC) programme in relation to methamphetamine harm in Northland.
Specifically, I request:
- Copies of any internal documents, briefings, or reports that refer to the implementation or outcomes of the ROCC programme in Te Tai Tokerau/Northland, particularly those addressing methamphetamine-related harm, from 1 January 2022 to the present.
- Details of any inter-agency partnerships or coordination (e.g. with Health NZ, Ministry of Education, Oranga Tamariki, Far North District Council) as part of the ROCC programme’s response to methamphetamine issues in Northland communities.
- Any data or evaluations held by Police on the impact of ROCC in Northland, including metrics or outcomes related to methamphetamine supply, demand reduction, or community engagement.
- Any funding or resourcing allocated by Police to ROCC initiatives targeting methamphetamine harm in Northland.
Yours faithfully,
Dan Tasman

Kia ora Dan
I refer to your request of 20 May 2025 as per the below email.
I have been asked to advise you that Police requires an extension of time in which to respond to your request, pursuant to section 15A(1) of the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). Specifically, section 15A(1)(a), the request is for a large quantity of official information or necessitates a search through a large quantity of information and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of the organisation, and section 15A(1)(b), 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.
Police requires until 18 July 2025 to provide a substantive response to your request, however we are endeavouring to provide this to you as soon as possible.
You have the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA, to make a complaint to an Ombudsman about this extension. If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this decision, please feel free to contact [email address]
Kind regards, Lisa
