Shared Intel behind crime reduction programmes
Police
and Mäori shared Intel is being used in Auckland City District to develop
relevant and practical action plans to reduce Mäori offending, re-offending
and victimisation.
Senior Sergeant Huri Dennis, Mäori Responsiveness Advisor for Auckland
City District, says three programmes have been implemented and one is
in planning mode.
“While we have yet to see the fruits of our programmes, we believe we
have sufficiently planned and consulted to even the odds of success,” Huri
says.
The three Auckland City District programmes include:
Mäori Domestic Violence:
An ongoing shared partnership with an
external Mäori Service provider based on Tikanga Mäori. Long-term
prevention programmes and initiatives are provided to the district’s ‘top
10’ Mäori offenders.
Mäori Youth Crime – Central City Business Area:
An operational partnership has been entered into with Te Matapihi Tirohanga Mäori
Wardens targeting Mäori youth crime issues within the CBD. Targets for 2004/05
include unlawful taking, theft ex-car and minor street violence. See Ten-One
No 266 for a full story on this initiative.
Öräkei Community Safety Group:
An ongoing initiative led by Ngäti
Whatua
o Öräkei sees a safety group established to address volume crime within
the Öräkei community. Targets for 2004/05 are burglary, crime and safety
issues.
