| 1341782 | 2013-05-18 03:03:00 | A sad dossier indeed. This: Pakau graduated from Police College in 2008, winning a section achievement award for his contribution to the success of his wing. And This: Police in trouble • Two weeks ago, police prosecutor Timothy John Russell Sarah was jailed for four years after pleading guilty to five charges, including supplying methamphetamine and accessing the police intelligence computer. • Another member of the same drug ring was Auckland traffic police officer Darren Ian Hodgetts, 34. He pleaded guilty in the Auckland District Court in January to accessing a computer system for a dishonest purpose, and was sentenced to four months' community detention. • Last month, former drug squad detective Mark Ernest Langford, 43, was sentenced to community work after admitting stealing cash that had been seized in a raid from a police safe, and more from a colleague's drawer after an in-office collection. Langford spent the money drinking and gambling at SkyCity casino. • Last year, former police officer Karis Rewa Charley was accused of giving her boyfriend a uniform and documents to help him steal a car. Her case was dismissed because of a lack of evidence. • In February 2010, Henderson-based Sergeant Martin Folan was charged with assaulting five prisoners in custody over a four-month period. The 47-year-old was acquitted on all five charges but resigned from the police months later before an internal investigation concluded. Makes for some very disappointing reading. :( |

We like to hold our Police to a high standard, which is natural, but the bell curve (en.wikipedia.org) will always show the "marginals" at either extremity... This is true for any group in society. |

I agree you are always going to encounter a rogue in any profession or job. However, the disturbing thing for me is the length of time these crooked police have been operating, supposedly without anyone within the force knowing. :confused: Now I know quite a few ex Police, and I know there is, or was, a “Brotherhood”, but I don’t believe that Brotherhood ever extended to the type of crime these guys are up for. Mind you, I suppose Hutton & Johnston planted evidence to convict Thomas and the Deputy Commissioner Mr Bush told mourners at Hutton’s funeral that Hutton had "integrity beyond reproach''. Clearly the bar is not set very high. :rolleyes: |
