New Zealand’s Deputy Police Commissioner—already the subject of a four-month investigation into his conduct—has resigned before he could be dismissed after pornography was found on his work computer.

Jevon McSkimming was the subject of inquiries by the police and the Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA), believed to centre on his conduct toward a former non-sworn female police employee. He was placed on paid leave late last year while the investigation ran its course.
