Dishonourable NZ Mentions
Police Association As long as they pay their fees, the association covers up members’ corruption and serious misconduct & neglect of duty!

New Zealand Government Total Apathy with Police Performance
National led Government has done NOTHING to bring my significant conduct/performance complaint to Police Commissioner’s attention since I first raised it in October 2023!

NZ Police 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.

Other NZ Police Personnels’ Misconduct & Neglect of Duty
Redeployment & Final Warning – Jimi McGrogan, Inspector, Professional Conduct On 13 May 2021; McGrogan illogically sent Interpol Wellington (IW) some of my ‘disjointed’ – i.e. not portraying end-to-end understandable ‘story’ – emails, instead of my 89 pages report, to review! So, of no surprise, IW concluded “We can’t identify the criminals & nature of… Continue reading Other NZ Police Personnels’ Misconduct & Neglect of Duty
