    The mother of slain cop Matthew Hunt has asked the police watchdog to investigate his murder

    The mother of slain cop Matthew Hunt has asked the police watchdog to investigate his murder


    Diane Hunt says the Police force "sent him to his death" without adequate training or equipment to protect him from the rising threat of armed criminals.

    Matthew Hunt was fatally shot during a routine traffic stop in West Auckland in June 2020.

    His mother hit back at the findings of an internal police health and safety report that suggests Hunt should have used his patrol car as a weapon against an assailant.

    She also says police documents obtained under the Official Information Act suggest dozens of officers had been shot at in the months before the tragedy.
