Police not performing - time for a complete review of the Police and the IPCA:

On 1 July 2009 the Dominion Post published the following article showing that investigation had found that police lacked the policies, procedures and practices to deal effectively with incidents of sexual misconduct by police officers.  The fact that the investigation was restricted only to incidents of sexual offending is ridiculous! The real issue was not the sexual offending but the deliberate and corrupt refusal of so many senior police officers to investigate the allegations!  The sexual offending of the officers involved was one thing, but the orchestrated litany of lies covering up the complaints, and the blatant corruption of senior police to investigate the complaints exposed the level of corruption in the NZ Police and the need for a proper inquiry into how the Police Complaints Authority operates.  They are not independent and never have been!

Then on 23 June 2010 the following report appeared, once more focussing solely on "sexually inappropriate behaviour".   

And in November it was reported that less than one in five police officers "felt engaged in their job"
