We acknowledge that historically there have been areas of inequity in services provided by WA Police Force to Aboriginal people.
We will work to improve the provision of equitable and accessible policing services to Aboriginal people.
We take responsibility for its part in engaging with Aboriginal people in the delivery of services, and will work in partnership with Aboriginal people to develop strategies that increase safety and security for all Western Australians.
We will commit to collaborative efforts with Aboriginal people, other agencies and service providers to support the development of safe, strong, and sustainable communities.
Great diversity exists amongst Aboriginal people and communities, and we recognise individual and local needs. We will respect the traditional owners and custodians of the land that we work on.
