Police deny claims about Rickards

Police say reports the officer at the centre of pack rape allegations and his partner, are being paid to live and study in Sydney are untrue.

Police General Manager of Human Resources Wayne Annan says Assistant Commissioner Clint Rickards and Inspector Tania Eden have been in touch with him in the wake of the allegations.

He says both continue to live in New Zealand full-time and Inspector Eden has returned to work in Auckland.

He says suggestions that Ms Eden was told to go on stress leave are also untrue.
