Illustration for Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014

This section changes the Privacy Act 1993. You can find the Privacy Act 1993 on the New Zealand legislation website. The changes are made to the part of the Act that deals with police records, specifically the records about protection orders and restraining orders.

When police keep records about protection orders and restraining orders, they now include more information. You will find this information in Schedule 5 of the Privacy Act 1993, under the heading "Police records". The police records will now include details about public protection orders, prison detention orders, or protective supervision orders made under the Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014.

The police records will also include more details about the offender's sentence and any conditions that apply after the sentence. This now includes any orders made under the Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014.
