What Andrew Coster's departure means for Government's policing plans
Description
Police Commissioner Andrew Coster announced this week - he is ending his term early, to take up a new role as the head of the Social Investment Agency at the end of the year.
Coster was the face of the previous government’s push to ‘police by consent’ and copped a huge amount of criticism from National when they were in Opposition.
The race is on to replace Coster – so who will National pick, and what will that decision say about their approach to tackling law and order?
Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald investigative reporter Jared Savage will share his insight into Coster’s tenure, and how the Government might change tack.
