Subject: Official Information request - Conflict of Interest Policy
document

Dear New Zealand Police,
I am a criminal defence lawyer practicing in Wellington and have a current
case involving a potential conflict of interest on the part of
investigating police.
The situation is that a police officer is investigating my client in
relation to an assault allegation in which my client is the alleged
offender. That same officer is investigating a complaint made by my client
to the Independent Police Conduct Authority.  The complaint relates to the
father of the complainant in the assault allegation who is a police
officer.
Please provide any policy documents around how IPCA investigations are to
be carried out, particularly in terms of any conflict of interest, and any
general conflict of interest policy documents.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Alexander Dye
