If you are worried that someone you are in a relationship with or thinking about entering a relationship with may have previously harmed others, you can ask Police to check. This can help you make informed and safe decisions about your relationship.
If you are not the person in the relationship (parent, friend, or another concerned person), you can also make a request. Police may not share information directly with you, but they may provide relevant information to the person who could be at risk, or to someone who is able to support their safety. Police will share information when it is necessary to help keep someone safe.

Privacy Safe

The Police follow special rules to keep people's private information safe. They only share information if the law (Official Information Act and Privacy Act) says it's okay. Every request is looked at carefully and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Police can only provide information if the relevant legislation permits.

You’ll need to provide:

• Your name and date of birth,
• an email address, and
• a contact number and address

If you want to report a crime to Police without your name or contact details attached, please use Crimestoppers or call them on 0800 555 111 or report the crime to 105.

Note:

• We use the information you provide about yourself or someone else to assist in processing your report. It may also be used for other permitted purposes.
• Your report may be used as a legal document, so its important to be truthful, and as accurate as possible.
• Please allow up to 15 minutes to complete.
• The report cannot be saved to complete later.
• The report will timeout after one hour of inactivity.
