When I lodged my crime report on New Zealand (NZ) Police’s online portal in January 2021, I reasonably expected its very simple Euro/Interpol (who don’t normally deal directly with the Public – only Countries’ Police) referral would be properly completed by Police within 3 months. I had no inkling 4.75 years later would be no… Continue reading Intro to New Zealand Police’s Personal Corruption and Serious Misconduct & Neglect of Duty
Chief Ombudsman – Arrogance Personified!
On 20 October 2023, I “URGENT & VERY IMPORTANT” emailed Chief Ombudsman Peter Boshier (Christopher Luxon, Kenneth Johnson, Kevin Currie, Liz Sinclair & Simon Murdoch – IPCA Board Members, and Mark Mitchell) “As…Coster’s Office has a Terrible track record of Totally Ignoring the Public (Me 100+ times since August 2021!)!!…, I am looking for a volunteer to… Continue reading Chief Ombudsman – Arrogance Personified!
Copious Resolution Opportunities!
This section summaries the absurd Police insinuation they conducted themselves perfectly & I was being unrealistically demanding. It identifies all the opportunities Police had to properly conclude my lodged crime report & (Ministers too) address their performance issues. Had any of these people taken action when I initially contacted them, subsequent PNHQ personal corruption and… Continue reading Copious Resolution Opportunities!
Richard Chambers – Yet More Total Apathy!
(Most of the comments in the “Andrew Coster” section also apply to Richard Chambers) Richard Chambers became Police Commissioner on 25 November 2024. On his first day, I was ‘delighted’ he outlined one of his high-level priorities was “Leadership – that is accountable, connected, supportive & visible”. I was also ‘delighted’ he said in the below video… Continue reading Richard Chambers – Yet More Total Apathy!
Ministerial Services (MS) – Obstructive & “Unsolicited”
Dismissal/Final Warning – K Harding, Lee Hodgson – Director Ministerial Services, T Keene – Supervisor &/or other accountable leaders of Ministerial Services (MS) Information Requests Team These 3 personnel & maybe others unbeknown to me have gone to quite extraordinary lengths to withhold the truth from me! On 2 June 2022, Jackie Sheehan-Wanhill of this team… Continue reading Ministerial Services (MS) – Obstructive & “Unsolicited”
Some General Thoughts on New Police Commissioner
On 24 September 2024, emailed 3 pages “New Police Commissioner Recruitment Process” letter to NZ Prime Minister Christopher Luxon (cced to ACT Party Leader David Seymour, Associate Police Minister Casey Costello, New Zealand First Party Leader Winston Peters & Public Service Commission). “Most importantly: As too many skills deficiencies Coster was never appropriate for the… Continue reading Some General Thoughts on New Police Commissioner
Dishonourable Mentions
Police Association As long as they pay their fees, the association covers up members’ misconduct & neglect of duty! On 17 December 2023, I started emailing Chris Cahill & Harley Dwyer “I am requesting you bring to Andrew Coster’s attention my attached 11 October letter. Surely, police would prefer to resolve this Woeful performance privately than in the Public arena”. Over time;… Continue reading Dishonourable Mentions
New Zealand Government Total Apathy with PNHQ Performance
The National Government has not done ANYTHING to bring this significant performance complaint to the Police Commissioner’s attention since I first raised it in October 2023! The self-declared “incredibly serious about law & order” party have ZERO serious interest in addressing totally unacceptable PNHQ performance! “We’re going to be tough on crime” campaign trail bluster was… Continue reading New Zealand Government Total Apathy with PNHQ Performance
Executive Leadership Team Restructure Recommendation
I was shocked/very disappointed to see the 2025 restructure failed to address Police’s major ‘culture, leadership, people & service’ issue. In fact, the restructure put even less emphasis on addressing this major issue – hence, it is likely to get worse! Again, research overwhelmingly painted a bleak picture of culture, which was commonly seen as… Continue reading Executive Leadership Team Restructure Recommendation
Calling for IMMEDIATE Resignation of New Zealand Police Commissioner
(Following issues are for Richard Chambers to address) Your culture, financial & operational management, and leadership skills are seriously deficient/leave a lot to be desired. As Commissioner, you have to be held accountable for this shocking experience since January 2021. The buck stops with you, especially considering you had 173 opportunities to ‘nip it in… Continue reading Calling for IMMEDIATE Resignation of New Zealand Police Commissioner
Leadership Teams Disciplinary Recommendations
Mark Evans – Executive Director Prevention For most of period under review – since January 2021 – Evans was responsible for “Service Delivery”, which I believe included MS. So, he should be held responsible for their rogue behavior. However, as I notice his role has changed to one of “Future Policing”, looks like he has… Continue reading Leadership Teams Disciplinary Recommendations
