By Kaysha Brownlie - Hawkes Bay TodayA top Hawke's Bay police officer charged with careless driving may walk away without conviction. After an investigation, she was charged with careless driving," Ms Venables said. In 2012 Kura became the first female commander in Hawke's Bay following the amalgamation of Napier and Hastings police commands. Hawke's Bay Area Commander Inspector Tania Kura, 49, was on duty in her patrol car when she was involved in a crash with another vehicle on Maraekakaho Rd in Hastings, on November 26 last year. Ms Venables said police were unable to comment further as the matter was before the court.
