New Zealand police officer pleads guilty to fabricating evidence, receives six-month home detention.
A Counties Manukau police officer in New Zealand pleaded guilty in April 2024 to fabricating evidence and obstructing justice by falsifying bail checks. The Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) criticized the decision to keep him on duty during the investigation, noting he recorded bail breaches without verifying them. He resigned in May 2024 and was sentenced to six months home detention in August 2024. The police emphasized his actions do not reflect the overall integrity of the force.
