Subject: Official Information request - Colour Blindness Standards

Dear New Zealand Police,

I noticed on the New Cops website that for applicants "Colour vision shall
initially be assessed with the Ishihara Test, if an applicant fails this,
further assessment and a diagnostic colour perception test is required".

Therefore, I request the following information:
1. The name of the further tests used to diagnose colour perception if the
applicant fails the Ishihara Test; and
2. For each further test used, please provide the standards that need to
be met in order for the test to consider as successfully passed and the
applicant having met the standard; and
3. Please provide any policies relating to colour blindness standards in
the Police.

For the purposes required under the Official Information Act, I am a New
Zealand Citizen.

Yours faithfully,

Thomas Holmes

Dear Thomas

 

I have been asked to let you know that Police requires an extension of
time in which to respond to your request for colour blindness standards
for new cops. This extension is pursuant to section 15A(1) of the Official
Information Act 1982, because the request necessitates consultations such
that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the
original time limit.

                                                                                           

Police require until 12 July 2018 to provide a substantive response to
your request. 

 

You have the right to ask the Office of the Ombudsman to review this
extension.

 

 

Kind regards
