Investigation into allegations about Young Labour camp

Investigation commences into allegations about Young Labour summer camp

Statement - attribute to Assistant Commissioner (Investigations) Richard Chambers:

A police investigation has commenced into allegations regarding a Young Labour summer camp at Waihi in February.

The first step will be to assess information available to police to determine what is required from an investigation perspective.

The investigation will be overseen by Detective Superintendent Chris Page.

We continue to encourage anyone with information they wish to discuss with police, or matters they wish to report, to contact us.

Our priority is to ensure that anyone who wishes to speak with us can feel comfortable in doing so, and to ensure that appropriate support services are available.

We will not be publicly confirming any matters regarding those who may approach police, or complaints that may be received, to ensure that individuals can feel confident in speaking to us.

We will also not discuss specific investigative steps which may be undertaken, or put a timeframe on the investigation.
