Wait for full facts – NZ Police Association

Wait for full facts – NZ Police Association


“Any speculation around the cause of death of a Hawke’s Bay man would be unhelpful,” Police Association President Greg O’Connor said today.

“Police officers do the job the public ask them to do, and dealing with violent offenders is an integral part of that,” Mr O’Connor said.

“Hawke’s Bay Police were called upon in the early hours of Friday morning to attend such an incident. Those of us who were safe at home should refrain from criticising police actions until all facts are known,” he said.

"Those who felt the need to comment negatively on police actions should be aware of the impact of such comments on the individual officers and their families. The officers were at the scene doing the job expected of them."

The Police Association will be providing full support to the officers involved in the incident.
