Dear James,

 

I refer to your request of 14 July 2025 as per the above.

 

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.

 

Police requires until 06 October 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. .  Information about how to make a
complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800
802 602.

 

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this
decision, please feel free to contact [email address]

 

Kind regards,

 

Yours sincerely

 

Hagen Kerr

Senior Advisor – Ministerial Services
