Face of the Day

An investigation is under way following complaints about Police Commissioner Richard Chambers.

Police Minister Mark Mitchell declined to be interviewed, but told Stuff in a statement, “I am aware that complaints have been received about the police commissioner. They are now being investigated by police and the IPCA. I have no further comment at this time.”

Chambers, in an internal note to staff on Thursday afternoon, said he “strongly reject[ed] the claims that have been made”.

“I will cooperate fully with the investigation and I look forward to having the matter dealt with,” he said in the note.

“It is important to let that investigation take its course without any interference. That is what anyone would expect, including myself. I am advised it is not necessary for me to take leave at this point.”
