Subject: Official Information request - Use of drug dogs detector dogs

Dear New Zealand Police,
I am writing to ask for information about the use of drug detector dogs in
airports, and in particular, their accuracy. Please assume that all
questions are asking for monthly of annual statistics for the last five
years for which data is available.
1. When drug dogs are searching people with their personal baggage and
indicate that a person is of interest, what percentage of times are
illegal drugs found?
2. When drug dogs are searching baggage not in the presence of their
owners and indicate that a bag is of interest, what percentage of times
are illegal drugs found?
3. When performing tests of the drug dogs using people carrying samples,
what is the success rate of the dogs in finding the samples?
4. When performing tests of the drug dogs using baggage containing
samples, what is the success rate of the dogs in finding the samples?
5. Please send me a copy of the procedures used by drug dog handlers in
their work.
Yours faithfully,
Thomas Beagle

Dear Thomas

 

I refer to your Official Information Act(OIA) request for information
about the use of drug detector dogs.

 

The information you are requesting is not held by New Zealand Police.
Therefore, pursuant to section 14 of the OIA I am transferring parts of
your request to the New Zealand Customs Service as the  information
requested is more likely to be held by that agency.

 

You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to transfer
parts of your request.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Jason Smith
