Kia ora Liam

Police have transferred your request in two parts to Ministry of Justice, and to Wanganui District Council, as the information to which your request relates is not held by Police, but is held by these agencies.
In these circumstances, we are required by section 14 of the OIA to transfer your request.

To Ministry of Justice:
