Dear New Zealand Police,

Please provide me - through the FYI.org.nz website - a copy of the NZ Police Directive sent to staff in March 2025, relating to police's File Management Centre (FMC) titled 'Assignment Changes - Theft and Fraud', and saying the NZ Police would no longer be investigating allegations of shoplifting below $500 regardless of lines of inquiry as part of a new nationwide directive.

Also, if the following information request is not included in the abovementioned directive, please provide me with a copy of the relevant documentation with the nationally standardised value thresholds used to assess theft and fraud files (general theft $200, petrol drive off $150, shoplifting $500, fraud (paywave, online, scam, etc.) $1,000, and all other fraud $500.

Yours faithfully,

M.R.M.
