An exposé of corruption and perversity in the New Zealand Police. (diabolical work stories)
“All members of the New Zealand Police have key roles to play in building and maintaining safer communities together. Those of us who have the privilege of holding the office of constable - that is, being sworn police officers - carry special powers to help protect life and property, preserve the peace, uphold the law and prevent and detect criminal offences. These powers come with important responsibilities. Chief amongst them, New Zealanders have a right to expect the highest standards of ethics, integrity and conduct from their police officers.”
Rob Robinson, Police Commissioner.
NZ Police standards of conduct.
The following standards of conduct are expected of all police officers:
- Honesty and integrity
- Fairness and impartiality
- Respect for people
- Respect for confidentiality
- Obedience to the law and lawful orders
- Reasonable exercise of discretion
- Efficient performance of duties
- Not damaging the reputation or relationships of the Police

Bentcops is quite a revealing insight into NZ’s police. I’m personaly familiar with some of their devious and heavy handed machinations.

I feel secure in the knowledge that there are people among us capable of clear communication. I am impressed by your work Jack. I have understood the complexity of what you have said. I myself have limited academic ability. There-for I am grateful to be privy to this particular educational gem.

“Immediately after the 1999 election Labour initiated a Select Committee inquiry, designed to destroy Jenny Shipley’s credibility.
I learnt much from sitting on that enquiry. Once it was clear that Mrs Shipley was not implicated it became my first experience of Parliamentary bi-partisanship, as the committee grew increasingly appalled at the untrustworthiness of Police witnesses. No MP on that committee was unaffected. Most shattering was the simple stupidity at senior levels, in sticking to incredible denials in the face of overwhelming evidence, including video footage.
The committee had no desire to destroy public confidence in Police integrity. We noted our unhappiness with their evidence and focussed the report on protocols for preserving constitutional propriety. It appears from reports of the Wang affair that Police agreement on those might have been as unreliable as their evidence to the committee.”
