Deputy Commissioner
New Zealand Police
Deputy Commissioner Jevon McSkimming is responsible for the organisation’s operational services and road policing. Jevon joined Police in 1996 after completing his studies in 1995.
Before being appointed to this role, he was the Deputy Commissioner: Strategy and Service. Prior to that his roles included Assistant Commissioner: Service, and Chief Information Officer, where he managed ICT Services for New Zealand Police.
During his time as a member of the Executive, Jevon has led the establishment of the Firearms Authority and the Next Generation Critical Communications Programme, overseen the launch of the Single Non-Emergency Number (105), and managed the property portfolio, police vehicles and the ICT systems to maximise the benefit to the frontline.
Starting his career in Auckland, Jevon undertook a number of front line, Communications and Maritime roles before shifting to the far South, where he met a range of challenges as a rural and provincial sole charge officer.
An opportunity to rewrite rural officers’ work terms and conditions led to a move to Wellington, and then a transfer to the Royal New Zealand Police College to run the promotion courses for Sergeant and Senior Sergeant ranks. As Deployment Manager for Wellington District, Jevon and his team played a key role in the model and process design for the New Zealand Police Prevention First Strategy.
