Good morning

I am just checking that you intended to send this request to Police, as per the below Beehive Release, the agencies that were involved in this strategy are as follows:

The government agencies committed to The New Zealand Government Sport Diplomacy Strategy 2025–2030 include Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT), New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE), Invest New Zealand (Invest NZ), Tourism New Zealand (Tourism NZ), Education New Zealand (Education NZ), New Zealand Story (NZ Story), Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), Major Events, Ministry of Culture and Heritage (MCH) and Sport New Zealand Ihi Aotearoa (Sport NZ)

Therefore, MFAT or one of the other agencies listed would be better suited to answer your request than Police.

Ngâ mihi, Michelle

Advisor - Ministerial Services
NZ Police National Headquarters Wellington

Dear Ministerial Services,

Yes. The Police Sport website clearly indicates that NZ Police provide funding to the sub-entity. Media reports indicate Police support and variety of international events. Police media includes photographs of New Zealand Police in uniform. Events include those run under the auspices of international organisations comprised of national police organisations. It is a reasonable expectation that the combination of funding and official attendance indicates a formal program that is consistent with the sports diplomacy strategy.

Yours sincerely,

V Tempsky
