Press Release – New Zealand Police
Striving to deliver the best possible policing services for and in partnership with their respective communities is the key motivator for three Police officers awarded Royal Honours today.
They are:
Superintendent John Price, OStJ, Canterbury District Commander, who becomes an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM)
Inspector Kieren Kortegast, Manager of the Police’s Southern Communications Centre, based in Christchurch, who becomes a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM)
Inspector Tamuera (Sam) Aberahama, Area Commander of Tairāwhiti (Gisborne), Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM).
Humbling, honoured and out of the blue, sum up their reactions to the recognition which is for their service to New Zealand Police and the community.

Middlemore Foundation CEO Sandra Geange says the Air New Zealand items will be distributed to people in the community who need it the most. The donation of the crockery, amenity kits, bedding and kids’ inflight packs from Air New Zealand is a very kind gesture especially around Christmas time when people need even more support. We will get these items straight out to tamariki and whÄnau in need in South Auckland. Massive thanks and appreciation to the team at Air New Zealand!
Air New Zealand Chief Customer and Sales Officer Leanne Geraghty says the idea to donate the surplus goods came from the airline’s staff.
