Independent Police Conduct Authority farewells Judge Sir David Carruthers 

29 August 2017

Today the Independent Police Conduct Authority fondly farewells Judge Sir David Carruthers.

Sir David was appointed Chair in 2012. During his five year term he has served the New Zealand public impartially and robustly. He has substantially enhanced the profile and reputation of the Authority.

Sir David has constantly looked for ways to improve the service that the Authority provides to complainants and the public. Just as importantly, he has emphasised the importance of ensuring that the Authority’s work is used to improve policing practice.

His warmth, integrity and good humour will be greatly missed by all those who have worked alongside him.

The Board and staff of the Authority wish him well in his retirement.
