When I lodged my 89 pages crime report on New Zealand (NZ) Police’s online portal in January 2021, I reasonably expected its very simple Euro/Interpol (who do not normally deal directly with the Public – only Countries’ Police) referral would be properly completed by Police within 3 months. I had no inkling 5 years later… Continue reading Intro to New Zealand Police’s Corruption and Serious Misconduct & Neglect of Duty
Independent Commission of Inquiry into Tribal NZ Police Culture is Clearly Warranted
In 2021, IPCA’s report of Police personnel concluded a “Tribal culture which values loyalty over integrity” (while claiming, still today, “integrity” is 1 of Police’s main values!) 5 years later, that toxic Police culture is still alive – especially in National Headquarters (PNHQ)! (Click here to share & sign the Parliamentary petition for an independent… Continue reading Independent Commission of Inquiry into Tribal NZ Police Culture is Clearly Warranted

Apathetic New Zealand Police Minister Mark Mitchell Has to Stand Down
As a lifetime National supporter, I am disgusted by the significant difference between Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s “incredibly serious about law & order” campaign promises and his & his Police Minister Mark Mitchell’s total apathy towards experienced widespread Police corruption and serious misconduct & neglect of duty.

Public Service Commission – Appallingly Irresponsible Recruiters!
New Zealand Public Service Commission (PSC) are responsible for managing the recruitment process of Police’s Executive Leadership Team. On 6 March 2025, Public Service Commissioner Brian Roche received his independent review of Deputy Commissioner of Police appointment process report.

NZ Chief Ombudsman – Arrogance Personified!
Ombudsman Office does not ‘go to bat for you’ to get overdue OIA responses – they merely ‘encourage’ the agencies to do so (nor care whether the responses are truthful!) Of the circa 35 overdue OIAs referred to Office, even when requesting generic documents unrelated to my Police performance complaint & ruled in my favour,… Continue reading NZ Chief Ombudsman – Arrogance Personified!
Copious NZ Police Resolution Opportunities!
This section summaries the absurd Police insinuation they conducted themselves perfectly & I was being unrealistically demanding.
