The Police Commissioner says a loss of 17 executive-level roles will have no impact on Police delivery. 

Richard Chambers is opening consultation on a proposal to disestablish 37 executive and support service positions and create 20 new roles.  

He says a restructure will result in a stronger police leadership which is fit for purpose and delivers on his priorities.  

Chambers told Mike Hosking police executives are important, but there are too many of them.  

He says trimming the number will make those left more visible and connected.
