A New Zealand police staffer has resigned after an Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) investigation revealed they were involved in a $33,752 fraud scheme against a major retail chain, both before and after joining the police.
The staffer pleaded guilty to eight charges of accessing a computer system for dishonest purposes, with police confirming the employee breached the Code of Conduct and Police Values.
Although an employment process was underway, the staffer resigned before it concluded.

Once there were height restrictions in joining the police
Now anybody can get in
Because they are getting a bit short
Mind You its brains not brawn that matters
Isambard Kingdom Brunel was only 5 feet tall – a genius ahead of his time
So forget about short man syndrome
A.k.a problems
Always attracting the best recruits…….
The police have a code of conduct and values?
What are those exactly?
Make sure no one is looking when you use your baton…
