New Zealand's police watchdog criticized a fatal pursuit, urging stricter motorcycle chase policies.

The Independent Police Conduct Authority found that New Zealand police should not have pursued a speeding motorcyclist in Whakatāne before a fatal crash. The officer failed to consider risks and did not follow policy, though the crash was not directly attributed to the pursuit. The IPCA recommended updating policies to treat motorcycles as high-risk and only pursue in extreme cases.
