Commissioner "disappointed" with elements of decision-making
Police Commissioner Howard Broad says he is disappointed
with elements of decision-making as reported concerning the
recent appointment of a senior manager at the Royal New
Zealand Police College.
"The authority for making
appointments at Police is delegated to managers.
"Where
there are issues around an appointment - real or perceived -
then these must be carefully considered.
"It is not clear
whether that happened in this case.
"My expectation is
that normal risk management rules apply to all appointment
processes.
"I am now seeking more information about the
decision-making in this case.
"The sensitivity of issues
around the Commission of Inquiry is well known within
Police. It is my expectation that decisions are made in
accordance with learnings from the Commission of Inquiry,"
says Commissioner
Broad.
