Panel appointed to debrief police response to Christchurch
Terror Attacks
Statement attributable to Assistant
Commissioner, Investigations Richard Chambers
A three
person independent panel has been appointed to debrief the
immediate Police response to the Christchurch Terror Attacks
of 15 March 2019.
The panel members are former Australian
Deputy Police Commissioner Nick Kaldas, former Solicitor

The debrief is an important process to
ensure any lessons are learnt, and used to inform future
operational responses and promote continuous
improvement.
The debrief will enable us to examine our

non-incriminating manner so we can take learnings, identify
good practice and propose future improvements.
While the
debrief process has started a timeline for when it will be
completed has not been
finalised.
