Richard Chambers is set to become New Zealand’s new police commissioner, state media reports, following the resignation of Andrew Coster, who now heads the “Social Investment Agency”.
Chambers, currently assistant commissioner and a favourite among frontline police, was chosen over Deputy Commissioner Jevon McSkimming after interviews last month.
The appointment, recommended by PM Christopher Luxon and endorsed by Police Minister Mark Mitchell, reflects the coalition government’s law-and-order priorities.
Mitchell, a critic of Coster’s “policing-by-consent” model, has emphasised a shift to a stricter, “back-to-basics” approach focused on gang disruption and organised crime.
Chambers is expected to provide “strong and decisive leadership” to meet the government’s expectations for robust policing, state media reported.
Whatever….zero faith in this organisation and the globalist govts who back them…..
