Subject: Official Information request: Criminal charges against police
officers for the years 2000-2011

     Dear New Zealand Police,
    
     I wish to request information in regards the disciplinary action
     and/or criminal charges brought against sworn police officers for
     each of the years 2000-2011 inclusive. The information can refer to
     either calendar or fiscal years though I would prefer the former.
     In regards to questions 1 and 2 could I please have both the
     nationwide number and the number for each district. The specific
     numbers requested are as follows:
    
     1. How many officers were charged with an offence in a given year?
    
     2. How many officers were convicted of any offence in a given year?
    
     3. In regards those charged, how many were charged with an offence
     which occurred while performing police duties?
    
     4. With what offence(s) was each individual charged?
    
     5. Of the officers charged with an offence; while subject to
     prosecution, how many
     a) resigned
     b) retired
     c) were formally dismissed
    
     6. Of the officers charged with an offence, how many were placed on
     enforced leave?
    
     Yours faithfully,
    
     Samuel Mellor
