Tçnâ koe Rory,
Thank you for your information request. Your reference number is IR-01-25-39701
The Official Information Act 1982 requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to DATE.
This extension is necessary because consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision if you are not satisfied with Police’s response to your request. You can find more information at http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/make-....

I am the person assigned to your request, so once I get the material back,
