Dear New Zealand Police,
Please send me this information
1) If Jevon McSkimming underwent a DNA sampling for the crimes for which he was charged. And if so, if his DNA has been checked against the DNA data base of previously committed/unsolved crimes.
2) A list of all Police employees who have been charged with pornography/child sex pornography-offending/ and/or bestiality and if they also have had DNA sampling as part of the investigation and if they had been checked against the DNA data base for other (unsolved) crimes?
3) The number of police employees who are currently under investigation for pornography/child sex pornography-offending/ and/or bestiality (as above) and whether they too have had DNA sampling and compared to the DNA data base for other crimes.
4) how many DNA samples have been used in New Zealand for criminal investigations and which of those where shown to be incorrect and the wrong person investigated or charged?

Yours faithfully,

Tracy Jane
