Mass Allegation Creche Cases

Ross Francis made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was partially successful.

From: Ross Francis

Dear New Zealand Police,

Attention David Kirby:

Thank you for your reply of 2 February 2018 which appears here:

https://fyi.org.nz/request/6856-electron...

According to an article published last year, police began keeping electronic records in 1994. You advised me in your letter of 25 January 2018 that police began electronic record-keeping in 1976. Did police begin some other form of electronic record-keeping in 1994? If so, what electronic record keeping did police begin or undertake in 1994 that was different from their record keeping in 1976?

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/9...

You also advised me in your previous response that to date, “there has been one response which has identified a case regarding a daycare where allegations of sexual abuse were made by multiple children about one offender”.

Was this the case of Geoff Scott? Please send me all communication between Karen Zelas and police between 1 October 1992 and 11 April 1994 in respect of the Geoff Scott case. Is this the only relevant case (other than the Peter Ellis case) since 1976 that you have identified in regards to my previous request?

Yours faithfully,

Ross Francis

some other form of electronic record-keeping in 1994? If so, what
electronic record keeping did police begin or undertake in 1994 that was
different from their record keeping in 1976?
