In January, NPIP spokesperson Emmy Rākete stated that the group would be making a decision after hearing news as to whether the Department of Corrections and Police would be marching. The Police will have a contingent of over 60 staff in the Parade this Saturday however Corrections have had their application denied and will not be marching as an organisation.
