Dear New Zealand Police,
This is a request made under the official information act. Can you please provide me with:
- the most recent training documents NZ police officers and staff have to complete before they can access the Auror platform. If this is an online course, then screenshots of every slide is an acceptable response.
- latest version of NZ police’s Auror use policy.
- NZ police’s latest audit, review or other type of appraisal of the use of the Auror platform to see if it is being used appropriately and not being misused.
- any and all documents, emails, reports, or other communications about misuse of the Auror platform by NZ police officers or staff since 1 January 2024.
Yours faithfully,
Jackson Wood
