Bullying, Culture and Related Issues in New Zealand Police

2 March 2021

"This negative culture did not permeate every workplace", said Judge Colin Doherty, Chair of the Independent Police Conduct Authority. "However, it was sufficiently prevalent to give rise to concern and points to the pressing need for real change in management and organisational practice".
