Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - Total number of officers issued identification using a alias for covert 'undercover" purposesI

Dear New Zealand Police,
I would like to know how many drivers licensces are currently issued under alias details for the purpose of protecting true identities of undercover covert investigations.
obviously i realise there are personal security protections that occur so i would just like the total number currently only.

Yours faithfully,

Jarrod Sullivan
