Sharing results of IPCA inquiries to overseas agencies
JennyM made this Official Information request to Independent Police Conduct Authority
Response to this request is long overdue. By law Independent Police Conduct Authority should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.
From: JennyM
Dear Independent Police Conduct Authority,
Please give me a copy of the Memorandum of Understanding and information sharing between the IPCA and New Zealand Police and Queensland Police that allows NZ Police to
share otherwise private and non-publishable material and information with another agency during employment inquiries?
Please also advise if this covers a period post employment and if
so, what is the length of that time period?
Yours faithfully,
Jenny Mondial

Dear Pieter Roozendaal,
With respect Mr Roozendaal, you will note I did not make the request under the OIA or Privacy Act.
Please supply a copy of the MOU - or, if the MOU is with Police please advise.
Yours sincerely,
JennyM

Yep pretty much. The IPCA is a law unto itself it would appear, and there seems to also be no way of making them accountable save by way of Statement of Claim in the Court system. It's interesting isn't it. INDEPENDENT Police Conduct Authority uses POLICE to undertake its CIVIL investigations. They approach them like CRIMINAL investigations and the results are all up the boo-wai to say nothing of them being unable to be made accountable. Even if you do want to complain about the officers who undertook the investigation, to whom do you complain about them? Oh the IPCA ........ it's a sham really.

Dear Pieter Roozendaal,
Please supply a copy of the MOU which allows overseas enforcement agencies to access members' complaint records.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Pieter Roozendaal,

Good afternoon
You appear not to understand that Police and IPCA are two separate, independent organisations. I have no right to provide you with anything that is owned by Police and nothing to do with IPCA.
