Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: Like previous Ministers, I intend to closely observe the long-held position of having a clear line between operational matters of police and the role as politicians. Section 16 of the Policing Act is one that members should make themselves familiar with. It explicitly states that the Commissioner of Police is not responsible to, and must act independently of, any Minister of the Crown regarding the enforcement of the law and the investigation and prosecution of offences. While I intend to work closely with the Commissioner of Police and ensure that he's constantly aware of my expectations of police, I will not be looking at telling police how to do their jobs. Come on, Mark!
