The Labour Leader is “absolutely disgusted” by the handling of complaints against Jevon McSkimming by former Police Commissioner Andrew Coster.  

The Police Complaints Authority has released a report finding some of our highest-ranking Police didn't deal properly with a woman's anonymous complaints against the former Deputy Police Commissioner. 

Hipkins is deeply disappointed in Coster, and believes the Police have a right to feel very disappointed in him as well. 

“Clearly he had standards that he needed to uphold as a Commissioner of Police, and he did not do that.”  

He says the frontline police, who go to work every day with high levels of integrity to serve the public and keep them safe have been badly, badly let down by the leadership.
