Park, the Eastern District Commander since 2020, has overseen major operations including Operation Kotare to disrupt organised crime and gang harm, Chambers said. <\/p>\n
She started her policing career in Papakura, South Auckland, in 1991 and has worked in several districts in a range of roles from criminal investigation branch and road policing to prevention manager. <\/p>\n
In 2005 she was awarded the Bravery Star for her actions in a 2002 critical incident in rural Manawat\u016b<\/a> in which her colleague Detective Constable Duncan Taylor was shot and killed, and Park was also shot and seriously wounded, Chambers said. <\/p>\n Parnell, who has been in his current role since 2019, first joined the police in 1993. <\/p>\n He has extensive experience in cross-agency emergency management and as District Commander, led multi-agency responses to some of the largest public order operations in police history, including the 2022 Parliament protests<\/a> and the 2024 H\u012bkoi m\u014d e Tiriti<\/a>, facing high levels of public and political scrutiny, Chambers said. <\/p>\n Anderson has held a range of roles across Auckland and Bay of Plenty, including leadership roles across major investigations and prosecutions, since he joined police in 1994. <\/p>\n Bay of Plenty District Commander since 2022, Anderson has had a focus on serious crime investigations, including adult sexual assault and child protection matters, Chambers said. <\/p>\n In 2019, Anderson was the lead Senior Investigating Officer based at police national headquarters in the investigation into the Christchurch terror attacks. <\/p>\n He was also appointed by the Commissioner to lead the police team response to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the attacks.<\/p>\n Chambers said he expects to appoint a second, non-statutory, Deputy Commissioner early in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cJeanette, Tim and Corrie all have significant operational experience and a strong understanding of the front-line, as well…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":189297,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[17623,2731,1558,28246,118628,14903,58631,7557,6750,305,111,43,139,69,675,8766,118629,3599,21694,165,1529,61,810,1533],"class_list":["post-189296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-appointed","tag-assistant","tag-been","tag-begin","tag-commanders","tag-commissioner","tag-commissioners","tag-district","tag-february","tag-have","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-police","tag-promotions","tag-provisionally","tag-roles","tag-step","tag-their","tag-three","tag-to","tag-up","tag-will"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189296"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189296\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
