Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming could face charges if pornography allegedly found on his work computer is deemed objectionable.
He'd been suspended on full pay since December during a separate criminal investigation, during which it's understood porn was allegedly discovered on a device.
McSkimming has now resigned.
NZ Herald investigative reporter Jared Savage says the term 'objectionable material' is subject to interpretation.
He explained it generally refers to content involving sexual violence, horror, and cruelty.
