I want to acknowledge District Commander Naila Hassan, who has shown strength and compassion in the days following Matt's death. I'd also like to acknowledge Matt's police family in Ōrewa: Area Commander Mark Fergus and his entire team. Mark, and Matthew's supervisors, had this to say about him, "Matt is remembered by his supervisors as a highly intelligent and professional officer, one who is diligent and committed to keeping safe the community that he grew up in. He had a promising career ahead of him and intended to take on the challenge of becoming a detective in our criminal investigation branch. He was expected to excel in that role. He was rated very highly by his supervisors and was held in the highest trust and integrity."
