New role a first for districtSergeant Matt Scoles is the new face of community relations for Southern. Matt was appointed to the role of Community Relations Coordinator in March this year. Matt’s role is a new initiative for Southern District and aims to combine the management and coordination of the district’s Youth Education staff, and look after the specialist liaison roles with Pacific and Ethnic peoples. Matt sees his key initiatives for the upcoming year as developing and maintaining an ongoing liaison with Pacific and Ethnic communities within Southern and he is currently in the process of initiating the establishment of a Pacific Peoples advisory group. He also hopes, in consultation with the advisory group, to develop methods of encouraging Pacific People to recruit into the district. The recruiting of Asian and other ethnic people is also high on Matt’s ‘to do’ list. |
