Statement – attribute to Commissioner Mike Bush:
I remain extremely proud of the Police response to the events in Christchurch on Friday 15 March.
I am aware of commentary by a limited number of individuals about our response, which may lead some to seek reassurance about what we did.
I have no doubt that Police staff responded as quickly as humanly possible to an unprecedented, highly planned and rapidly unfolding event.
They put their own safety at risk to protect the public, and indeed they saved lives.
