<p><span lang="EN">Police will launch a new website for news gathering organisations when they start encrypting their radio traffic in the Wellington region next month. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">The new digital radio network -- to be widened to cover the whole country by 2014 -- will stop people listening in to police communications. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">Though police welcome some unauthorised listeners -- ranging from hobbyists, to boy racers and would-be criminals -- being blocked from eavesdropping, they plan to offer media "filtered" access to initial incident reports. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">But the messages released in the public interest will not include details of suicides or insecure premises. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">Some events involving special situations will not include specific addresses and messages dealing with routine tasks such as checking on alarms, or bail breaches and the locations of roadside breath testing will never go on the website. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">Some of the brief incident reports will be withheld for an hour, with potential for incident commanders to extend that, in callouts involving aggravate robbery, hostage situations, domestic violence, sexual offences, and incidents involving juveniles or mentally ill people. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">"Natsec" events involving national security, and offences "against the national interest", including terrorism will also be blocked for an hour. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">But traffic crashes, missing people, burglary and other theft, rescues and arson will be listed within minutes. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">"Everything goes out, unless there is a reason not to," said a spokeswoman at police headquarters. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">"But we will delay things to do with sexual attacks, children and sudden deaths." </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">Police would have to check that sudden deaths were not suicides, because reporting details of those was limited by the Coroner's Act. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">She said media access to the incident listing would be through a password-protected website. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">Approved media outlets would be legal entities with physical premises in New Zealand, operating newsrooms, including broadcasters, newspapers, news agencies and web-based news services. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">Individual journalists, freelancers, and magazines and periodicals are not expected to be given access. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">"You basically have to have a newsroom ... publishing timely information," the spokeswoman said. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">Newsrooms in the Wellington region will be given information in the next couple of weeks about accessing the website. </span></p></div>
