About this listen

Only a few weeks after he had reportedly been in contention for the country’s top police job, deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming was suspended and put on leave.

The Independent Police Conduct Authority and New Zealand Police were investigating, but the nature of the allegations could not be reported.

Months went by without any developments.

That was – until last week, when McSkimming resigned after allegations surfaced of “objectionable material” being found on his work computer.

NZ Herald senior crime reporter Jared Savage broke the story back in December and joins us today on The Front Page to explain what is going on.
