Pornography found on the work computer of former deputy commissioner Jevon McSkimming is being investigated as alleged objectionable material, RNZ understands.

McSkimming resigned as the country's second most powerful cop on Monday amid a four-month investigation by the Independent Police Conduct Authority and police.

RNZ understands his resignation came after he was confronted with allegations that pornography, being investigated as alleged objectionable material, was found on his work computer.

McSkimming declined to comment on the allegations through his lawyer.

What a story, and this wasn't what got him suspended in the first place either.

And on his work laptop?

I don't even Google non-work stuff on my work computer. I can't imagine why someone would think they would get away with any inappropriate use of a work computer within what is undoubtedly an enterprise level recording of computer use. Its not exactly a secret that work computers track how they are being used.

Yep. This is the most amazing thing about this story to me, that our most senior police officer was so incredibly stupid.
