Dear Mr Verhoeven

 

I refer to your request for all training manuals/publications held for the
Glock 17 pistol and Bushmaster M4A3 rifle.

Your request potentially covers a great deal of information and I wonder
therefore if you could refine your request somewhat.

 

For example, are you looking for current training manuals? These can be
provided to you (though there may be some redactions).

 

In addition if you have a specific question or query about police firearms
that we can assist you with, please also let us know as that will help us
focus on the information that is most useful to us.

 

If you would like to ring me on the number below to discuss your request,
please do so.  

 

Many thanks.

Dear Mr Verhoeven

 

I refer to your request for: all training manuals/publications held for
the Glock 17 pistol and Bushmaster M4A3 rifle.

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 a search
through a large quantity of information and consultations such that a
proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the
original time limit.

Police requires until 28 April 2017 to provide a substantive response to
your request. 

 

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

 

T McMahon,

Ministerial Services

Police National Headquarters

Dear Mr Verhoeven
Thank you for your email. Police advise that, aside from nomenclature and safety precautions, all other training, including any kit, weapon drills and skills, is particular to NZ Police and is operationally sensitive along with deployment tactics and decision-making. Police believes that the ground for withholding the information pursuant to s6(c) of the Official Information Act is valid. Given the nature of your request is for "purely training information relating to the weapons themselves", it is suggested that you refer to the Internet and the multiple sites there that provide this type of material.

Yours sincerely

Teresa McMahon
