Dear James 
Request for information 
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 8 May 2023. You 
requested: 
Under the OIA may I please have the following information. 
Please provide the timeline of the backup of the additional 18 Police officers 
requested at the Albert Park, Posie Parker event. 
This should include but be limited to the time of observation that things were 
deteriorating, time of request for extra officers, time when the ful  complement 
of 18 officers had arrived and then time of plan and what that plan was in 
deploying the extra 18 officers, where were the officers deployed and when? 
etc. 
Police cannot provide specific timing for when events occurred but can provide 
approximate timing only. 
The crowd started to gather around the rotunda at approximately 11am, and 10 to 15 
minutes later, Police was able to assemble sufficient staff numbers (including the 
additional 18 officers) and move into the crowd in support of Ms Parker’s security. 
The 18 contingency officers who were redeployed to Albert Park received a verbal 
briefing to assist the team already there. In general, the plan in deploying the 18 extra 
officers was to ensure public safety including assisting the safe escort of Ms Parker from 
the venue. 
Please note that as part of its commitment to openness and transparency, Police 
proactively releases some information and documents that may be of interest to the 
public. An anonymised version of this response may be publicly released on the New 
Zealand Police website. 



You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this 
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at 
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602. 
Yours sincerely
