Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 21 November 2025. You
requested:
I am requesting the fol owing information about a member of the Police with
the QID of: EFW731

Your request is refused under Section 18(a) of the OIA as police considers the interests
requiring protection by withholding the information are not outweighed by any public
interest in release of the information. As per Section 9(2)(a) of the OIA - the withholding
of the information is necessary to protect the privacy of natural persons, including that of
deceased natural persons and Section 9(2)(g)(i ) of the OIA - withholding of the
information is necessary to maintain the effective conduct of public affairs through the
protection of officers and employees from improper pressure or harassment.
Please note that as part of its commitment to openness and transparency, Police
proactively releases some information and documents that may be of interest to the
public. An anonymised version of this response may be publicly released on the New
Zealand Police website.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
