Candidate Vetting - Procedures for Illegal Activity Disclosed by Candidate

V. Roberts made this Official Information request to New Zealand Security Intelligence Service

The request was successful.

From: V. Roberts

Dear New Zealand Security Intelligence Service,

I would like to know what policies are in place when candidates undergo security vetting, specifically when in the interests of honesty and full disclosure, a candidate makes the NZSIS aware of previous illegal activity for which no conviction has yet been sought.

I imagine manuals/guidelines in their entirety on this subject are classified, but a general statement on candidate provided information being used in a subsequent attempt at conviction would be appreciated.

Yours faithfully,
V. Roberts
