Police hold session at Mingaletta

Police from Brisbane Water LAC held an information session at Mingaletta in Umina last week to discuss ways police and aboriginal people can work together to create stronger, safer communities.

Run by the NSW Police Aboriginal Co-ordination Team, the session was conducted as part of the NSW Police Aboriginal Strategic Direction, a blueprint for how LACs engage and interact with aboriginal communities.

The policy aims to build strong relationships between police and aboriginal people, and deliver meaningful outcomes for their local communities.

Its four key priorities aim: to ensure community safety; improve communication and understanding between police and aboriginal people; reduce involvement and improve safety of aboriginal people in the criminal justice system; and reduce aboriginal youth offending.
