New Gisborne police chief
NZPA

Gisborne's troubled police district will have a new boss from next week.

The new manager is Detective Inspector Clint Rickards, 36, who will be promoted to superintendent. He becomes the youngest of 16 district managers in the country. The job has been vacant since Rana Waitai left to become a Member of Parliament last year.
