New Police Commissioner named
The Police Minister today announced a new Police Commissioner.
He is Howard Broad, who has served as an Assistant Commissioner since 2004.
He replaces Acting Commissioner Steve Long, who has been filling the top job since the retirement in December of Rob Robinson, who held the post for six years.
His carerr of many than 30 years, included a period as Auckland District Commander and a secondment in 2003 to the Police Standards Unit in the UK Home Office.
Police Minister Annette King says Commissioner Broad will be responsible for, among other things: rewriting the Police Act and responding to the findings of the current Commission of Inquiry on integrity and conduct issues.

He said today he cannot recall a time in his 30-year career when the force has attracted so much bad publicity, and he looks forward to the opportunities presented by the review of the Police Act.
