Now the focus of two investigations.
Yet just a few months ago, the police commissioner promised to sort out the corruption, the cover-ups and the bad behaviour.
But now he's under investigation with complaints relating to his conduct towards women.
He strongly denies the allegations and remains in the top job.
And at the same time, more and more officers are making headlines with allegations of committing indecent crimes and giving favours to criminal family members in court.
That was last week.
Now, this week.
Two former police officers, a standing trial in Auckland, accused of perverting the course of justice, leading to a wrongful murder conviction.
And then there's the fallout after a top cop announced last month he's joining the Labour Party.
From the top brass to officers on the beat, a string of scandals is putting New Zealand police in the spotlight.
To find out what's really going on and whether the good cops can rebuild trust again, today I talk to the country's top crime correspondent, Sam Sherwood, who has covered every big scandal and story in detail for RNZ.
And I also sit down with former police negotiator, Lance Burdett.
Do you think there are a few more nervous officers in the force at the moment just waiting for their day in court?
More from Lance in a moment, but first, Sam and the allegations against the police commissioner.
I find it interesting, Sam, because he is our top cop and when he came in it was all about truth and transparency and regaining trust.
Yet there are these allegations and he's still in the top job.
Why hasn't he been stood down?
Find it interesting the Prime Minister this week was grilled on it.
What about, though, the police minister?
How has he responded?
