Request for information
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 30 June 2025. You
requested:
How many times per year were police needed to assist with Oranga Tamariki
uplifts in the last 5 years not including this year?
Police do not record when they assist with Oranga Tamariki uplifts, therefore, this request
for information is refused under section 18(g) of the OIA, as this information requested is
not held.
Please note that as part of its commitment to openness and transparency, Police
proactively releases some information and documents that may be of interest to the
public. An anonymised version of this response may be publicly released on the New
Zealand Police website.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
