Dear New Zealand Police,
Thank you for your reply
But, that wasn't very helpful - perhaps a more general enquiry might
garner more than "Police do not specifically record this information for
ease of retrieval"...
For the period 01 January 2016 to 31 March 2018
Please supply details of any Police searches, ‘activities’ or ‘operations’
what-so-ever to locate the operator of any drone (RPAS), or to locate any
drone (RPAS), whether the drone was being operated legally or not
Listing, any or all of the following (whatever you have) –
- date and time
- location
- RPAS details
- nature of the incident, including details of other aircraft, people, and
any injuries…

Thank you
Yours faithfully,
Allen Reynolds
