Dear New Zealand Police,

With my previous two requests to New Zealand Police being delayed by at least a month each, I would like to keep the OIA request within the FYI system as it is easier to monitor.

Please send a response through this channel.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Sutherland

 

I refer to your request of 27 October 2016 to provide the name of the
officer, inspector, Police Minister or other title who authorised the
checkpoint, knowing it was to be used to gather home addresses of
attendees of the the meeting.

 

I have been asked to notify you that Police requires an extension of time
in which to respond to your request, pursuant to section 15A(1) of the
Official Information Act 1982, because the request necessitates
consultations such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.

 

Police require until 15 December 2016 to provide a substantive response to
your request. 

 

You have the right to complain to the Office of the Ombudsmen about this
extension.
