The following nine members undertook the visit:
Colonel JR Barnard: Systems Manager: External Integrated Systems.
Colonel M Singh: Systems Manager: Supply Chain Management Support Systems.

Pinnacle Africa and Infrasol invited the Division Technology Management Services to conduct site visits to the New Zealand Police during the Rugby World Cup.
(2) All cost pertaining to the visit was sponsored by the two companies. I have however asked the Acting National Commissioner to scrutinize this visit and to make sure that this visit did not involve any conflict of interest.
