Morning Emilie,
Unfortunately we will be unable to respond to your request by our
extension date of 31 May 2019. As your request needs to be responded to
by Police staff that have been diverted to other important operations
since the Mosque shooting on 15 March, we have some OIA requests that will
soon become overdue.
Can you please assist us by advising whether or not you are still looking
for a response to your request.
We apologise profusely for the delay in responding to you, and assure you
that if you still would like a response to your request it will be
actioned as a priority.
Kind regards,
Rachel

Afternoon Emilie,
Thank you for your request below.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the Official
Information Act 1982 and I enclose the following information:
- All emails in relation to the general arming of Canterbury Police in
February 2019.
- New Zealand Police routine carriage of firearms policy.
- New Zealand Police operational threat assessment policy.
- New Zealand Police Tactical Options Framework.
We have withheld some of the information you have requested for the
following reason:
- Section 9(2)(a): there is a need to protect the privacy of persons,
including that of deceased persons.
Police considers the interests requiring protection by withholding the
information are not outweighed by any public interest in release of the
information.
If you are not satisfied with our response or you have any questions,
please contact [1][email address]. You have
the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision if you are not
satisfied with Police’s response to your request. You can find more
information here:

I would like to apologise again for the delay in responding to your
request.
