Police also advises that it requires an extension of time in which to
respond to your request, pursuant to section 15A(1) of the Official

large quantity of information and consultations such that a proper
response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the original time
limit. Police require until 30 January 2017 to provide a substantive
response to your request. 

 

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

Tēnā koutou,

Just to confirm, is this a transfer of request to Ministerial Services as per s14 of the OIA?

If so, can you provide me with your reasoning under s14(b)?

Nā,

Hi Jeremy,
This email had come through to the NZ Police. This request has nothing to
do with the NZ Police and as per a supervisor this was advised to be
forwarded to the Ministerial Services.
Unfortunately I cannot help you any further with this.
Regards,
NZ Police

Tēnā koutou,

This sounds like a transfer under s14 of the OIA: http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/publi...

Please have a read of this section, as there are two possible reasons you can transfer a request (paraphrased):
s14(b)(i): if the information requested is not held by the department to which the request was made
s14(b)(ii): if the information requested is believed to be more closely linked to a different authority

I don't think either of these two apply in this situation. The manuals in question are Police manuals, Police is ostensibly the correct agency from which to request them. It is for this reason that I request your reasoning under s14(b).

Also in s14 is the requirement to "inform the person making the request accordingly." Please confirm that this is what you are doing, and the reason under s14(b) for this,

Nā,

Jeremy Roundill

It looks like there are several links in that PDF, but they seem to be inactive?

The document is really as much as I require at this point. I'll make a follow up OIA request if there are any extra documents which look interesting.

Often less than tech savvy government employees send through links to intranet sites, not understanding they're only accessible from inside the office. These are probably all examples of that.
