Dear Mr Brown

Thank you for your information request below received on 26 November 2017.
 This is being dealt with under the Official Information Act 1982.

 

Your request asks:

 

With reference to the recently introduced [1] 
https://www.civildefence.govt.nz/get-rea...
  of which the NZ Police are listed as an authorized agency to issue
alerts, I seek a copy of the policy (or guidelines, or other similar
document) governing the usage and issuance of Emergency Mobile Alerts
(EMA) by the New Zealand Police.

If such a policy or guidelines does not exist, please provide details on
any training that has been provided to NZ police personnel on the usage of
the EMA system. In particular any training material or supporting
documentation that covers the decision making process for when to or when
not to issue an EMA.

  

 

Yours sincerely

 

Teresa McMahon, Ministerial Services
