[Police Commissioner Richard Chambers] will mark the day of [Senior Sergeant Lyn Fleming]’s death on the frontline in Nelson – taking on the same shift she did alongside her colleagues.

“The right place for me to be on this New Year’s Eve is Nelson, alongside my colleagues who have had a tough year,” he said.

“I’ve made that decision because I know that the team down there, have done it tough - we’ve all done it tough, but not as much as Lyn’s people down there in Nelson and Tasman.

“So I’m going to be out there with them through the night.”

Chambers plans to start the shift “getting behind the barbecue” and feeding those on the late shift.

Then he will head out on the street with Superintendent Tracy Thompson, the Tasman District Commander.
