A full police funeral is likely for a senior Auckland police officer who died suddenly this week.

Senior Sergeant Steve Breach worked for Auckland City police and was the lead investigator in the Augustine Borrell murder inquiry in 2007.

The 51-year-old died on New Year's Eve, apparently of natural causes.

His funeral service will be held in Parnell on Monday.
