Subject: IR-01-25-26423 [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - Police Eagle footage

CAUTION: This email originated from outside the New Zealand Police Network. DO NOT click links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and are assured that the content is safe.

Dear New Zealand Police,

I request any video footage or aerial recordings captured by the Eagle helicopter (Police 2, ZK-IPB) on 18 July 2025, during its deployment to Wellsford and subsequent vehicle pursuit southbound along State Highway 16 to the Kaukapakapa area.

Eagle began tracking the vehicle around 15:24 and terminated involvement around 16:11 local time.

If any footage from this period is held, I request it in a digital format, or alternatively, information on how it can be viewed. If no footage exists, I would appreciate confirmation.

I understand that parts of the footage may require redaction for privacy or operational reasons, and I am happy to receive a redacted version if necessary.

Yours faithfully,

Dillon
