Board gives bicultural perspective on police training
There’s a strong Māori presence on a new independent advisory board for the Royal New Zealand Police College.
The board has been set up to give Police advice on training and professional development, including bicultural and diversity-centric approaches to learning and community expectations of police training.
It will be chaired by former Police director of intelligence Mark Evans and includes Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira board member Caleb Ware, Te Kura Māori Ngā Tapuwae principal Arihia Stirling, former Tuahiwi School principal Melanie Taite-Pitama, who’s now with the Education Ministry, former race relations conciliator Gregory Fortuin, and others.
