Matthew Hague: Police will need to "work hard to rebuild" public trust after McSkimming scandal - Politics Central

Former police commissioner Andrew Coster claims he had briefed Chris Hipkins on Jevon McSkimming's alleged misconduct in 2022, and briefed Mark Mitchell in 2024. 

Coster stepped down as Chief Executive of the Social Investment Agency this week, after an IPCA report showed failures in how the police dealt with allegations against McSkimming. 

Both Hipkins and Mitchell have denied Andrew Coster's claims, and both have released statements saying they would have taken action had they known.
