The Police Commissioner appears at odds with messaging coming from his own organisation. Commissioner Chambers stepped into the korero after it was revealed by his own Force that Police might deal differently with retail crime where the value was less than $500.
“I have made retail crime one of the priorities for the Police executive and that means increasing the focus on it. The memo has been confusing and unhelpful and does not meet my expectations on retail crime or the expectations of the retail community.” Chambers said in a statement to RNZ. Cambers went onto say “It is my expectation police continue to work hard to catch offenders wherever possible. Our role is to enforce the law. If we were to take our focus off that, we are giving license to offenders to commit crime. That will not happen.”
