The Prime Minister won't comment on the resignation of New Zealand's second most powerful cop, Jevon McSkimming.
The Deputy Police Commissioner had been on suspension since December - but Police Minister Mark Mitchell has now confirmed he's resigned with immediate effect after new serious allegations.
Mitchell says the Prime Minister had already been considering recommending the Governor General immediately remove McSkimming from office.
Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls explains further.
