Summary
A South Auckland mother and her kids were forcibly removed from their home by police—just so her abusive ex-partner could retrieve his belongings. Despite showing proof of a valid protection order, officers dismissed her claims, calling her “hysterical” and questioning the order’s legitimacy. The Independent Police Conduct Authority later condemned the move as unjust and policy-violating, noting police failed to act within legal timeframes and ignored court-issued protections. Internal reviews had cleared the officers, but the watchdog demanded systemic changes, including better training. Police apologized, updated records, and acknowledged their oversight.
