The police watchdog has released further details of its investigations regarding former Deputy Commissioner Jevon McSkimming.

McSkimming resigned on Monday.

Both the Independent Police Conduct Authority and police have active investigations involving him.

The IPCA on Thursday announced it was investigating allegations of misconduct by McSkimming following a complaint from a member of the public.

It is also conducting an investigation into if there was misconduct or neglect of duty by any other police officers or employee in responding to the allegations.

The investigations were being given priority, but no timeframe for their completion date could be given, the statement said.

McSkimming quit as the country's second most powerful cop amid a four-month investigation by the IPCA and police.

RNZ earlier revealed pornography found on McSkimming's work computer was being investigated as alleged objectionable material.

In response to questions from RNZ on Wednesday, IPCA investigations manager Stu Graham said in a statement it was conducting an investigation "into the way police handled allegations made against former Deputy Commissioner McSkimming".
