A police staff member is facing 39 criminal charges, including three counts of rape, five of indecent assault, kidnapping, unlawful sexual connection, assault, threats to kill or cause grievous bodily harm, and making intimate visual recordings, according to information obtained by state media RNZ.

The case is among 10 active prosecutions stemming from investigations by the National Integrity Unit (NIU), which was established in 2020 to investigate potential corruption and serious wrongdoing within New Zealand Police.

Another staff member faces assault, blackmail and indecent assault allegations, while other cases involve alleged firearms trafficking, dishonest computer access, false information supplied when joining Police, drug offending and attempts to obstruct or pervert the course of justice. Police declined to provide further details about the person facing 39 charges because of suppression orders.



Figures released under the Official Information Act state media show about 40 staff were under NIU investigation as of May, while 22 prosecutions have been initiated following NIU investigations between January 2020 and May 2026.

    • I wouldn’t agree with that. You can’t stereo type like that. Cops are like any other denomination in society. A microcosm of the macrocosm. There are still good cops some not so good and a few bad apples. But generally speaking I think they can be depended upon to assist the public and perform their duties.

  1. The NIU was established in 2020, with then-Police Commissioner Mike Bush saying it had been created to “bolster police’s capability in protecting against the risk of corruption and, where appropriate, investigating corruption within New Zealand Police”.
    All part of bolstering the deception and lie surrounding Christchurch?

  2. In China if you are a politician, public servant or police and you commit a crime, the sentence is far harsher than that handed down to an everyday Chinese. The argument is simple and fair. You took the job knowing you represent the people, your integrity should be above reproach and you of all people, tasked with upholding legal standards, should respect them absolutely.

    So the problem NZ has is one if accountability, transparency and integrity. If you don’t have the right people running the country, nothing else works either. Don’t vote for globalists this election. Time this country was cleaned up and reformed.

  3. They’ll harass the elderly on their mobility scooters, and take photos of Maori youths, and commit these crimes with Masonic / Old Boy Network impunities..
