Police are moving to prosecute three staff members following separate investigations arising from a rapid review of Police information security controls.
“Two Auckland-based constabulary staff will appear in the Manukau District Court over the coming days”, said Deputy Commissioner Tim Anderson.
“Each of the officers is being charged with multiple counts of possessing an objectionable publication, under the Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act.
“A third officer will be appearing at a court in the Wellington region at a later date.
“Prosecution of our own staff is a serious but important step to take as it recognises the significance of the alleged offending that has been identified.
“I would like to acknowledge the professionalism and commitment by our investigators in the National Integrity Unit for their work to this point.
“Our investigations have involved the analysis of a significant volume of web activity.
“It is important we now let these matters progress to the court process, which limits the level of information we can provide at this point.
“These three Police staff remain stood down from duties. Meanwhile, three investigations remain ongoing as part of the rapid review.
“Police have investigated 22 cases in this matter. Twelve cases have been resolved through either disciplinary action or performance management.
“Four people have resigned during this process.”

This is becoming quite a theme in the NZ Police. An endemic culture with 10 officers dismissed, 5 charged with criminal offenses during the McSkimming episode. Now this.
Foxes guarding the chicken coup.
Just another indicator of how dysfunctional government in general, is in NZ, and elsewhere in the West.
Maybe stop hiring people from cultures that normalise child marriage and it might stop happening so frequently 🤷🏼♂️
wow Davey, please eluciate us…we need details that ässoreaties’ do not provide.
I think you are being Naïve Non-mouse. Dave is being realistic. Coppers used to be 6 foot tall middle-child, rugby type, with fairness, morals and ethics to match a kiwi provincial upbringing.
Then single cop towns ended with the Magakino police killing and NZ Police went 2-officer patrols.
Then NZ Police Association recruited flimsy 4 foot tall feminist that acted like they were 9 foot tall – but only got the wrists snapped and cost the tax payer on injury full pay leave.
Then NZPA went full woke and recruited languages… and wouldn’t you know; Chinee speak Mandarin, Indians speak Hindi and Paki’s are Muslims and they all bring their cultural personal paradigm to work.
Have you ever seen the footage of little Indian girls being gang assaulted in public streets (reader discretion advised), or listened to Western soldiers re-tell how in Afganistan little Bacha bazi boys were dressed up as little girls and auctioned off to hungry men.
I think you are being Naïve to not think other nationalities don’t bring their sh*t world-view to work.
“ässoreaties”
Sorry but I lost my English to tard dictionary. Even ChatGPT couldn’t guess what you’re trying to say. Thanks for the lol’s though
The NZ Police force has been proven to be rotten at the top so what makes anyone think the rank and file members below will be any different.
So they are doing this at work, at a police station…? Didn’t think that one through, did they?
A few months home D for them, on full pay. That’s the precedent that has been set for this gang of thugs isn’t it?
If found guilty, I assume home detention is the standard sentence for police officers.
Well they certainly won’t survive in a prison..
Serve the government just for a pay cheque, scum the lot of them.
SADLY SADLY SADLY If you’re NOT A FULL-ON LIAR and DON’T HAVE OFFICIOUS NASTY BULLY TENDENCIES and DON’T possess an entrenched life-long arseholes’ untrrustworthiness and a mean treacherous character from birth, and If you DO have integrity and the morals NOT TO SHIT ON genuine and law-abiding people and refuse to accept corruption and general day to day sh*thead behaviour from your slippery CRIMINAL puppet-masters and colleagues – then you CAN NOT BE AND WILL NOT LAST as a pig for any more than around three months or so maximum… End of story….
