Documentation for National Intelligence Application aka N.I.A

S.I made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was successful.

From: S.I

Dear New Zealand Police,

1: When an individual makes a privacy act request for all the information the Police hold on that person in the N.I.A database, they are provided with a personal dossier of said information. I am requesting all training or reference material that explains all sections of this dossier, including all codes, abbreviations and key words that may be present.

2: Police have previously released a redacted copy of the NIA manual on 27 September 2022 (ref IR-01-22-22232) I requesting a copy of the original OIA request & all information that was released in response.

I am a New Zealand citizen residing in Auckland my entire life so I am more than entitled to request this information.

Regards,

S.I
