Police association president re-elected

The Police Association’s 72nd Annual Conference today re-elected incumbent Greg O’Connor as President for a further 3-year term.

In a contested election, Mr O’Connor received the unanimous support of delegates to the conference in Wellington to secure a record 6th term as President.

“I am first and fore-most a cop, as a serving police officer with 31 years’ service. However, I believe that, as Police Association President, I can contribute more to look after the interests of members, and the interests of policing in New Zealand,” Mr O’Connor said.

“Conference today has given a strong endorsement of the Association’s performance over recent years, and a powerful mandate going forward,” Mr O’Connor said.
