Officers Facing Charges

New figures show more than a dozen serving officers are facing criminal charges ranging from rape of a minor to wounding with intent.

The Office of the Commissioner is playing down the number and seriousness of the charges.

Police refused to name those facing criminal charges, but did confirm the 14 sworn officers held the rank of either constable or sergeant, and that they were from the Auckland, Waitemata, Counties Manukau, Bay of Plenty, Tasman and Canterbury police districts.
The charges they face include: male assaults female, injuring with intent, common assault, excess breath alcohol, theft, careless driving, making a false statement, assault with a weapon, wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, male rapes female, and male rapes female (aged between 12 and 16).

Some of the charges carry maximum prison terms of 14 years or more.

Police national manager for professional standards Stu Wildon would not say how many of those sworn officers had been stood down, suspended, or were on full or restricted duties.
