Responsiveness to Mäori<br />
History<br />
Across Central District, Mäori offending rates remain high at approximately 48.5% of total apprehensions.<br />
Mäori Youth offending is even higher where they account for 56.5% of total youth apprehensions.<br />
This disproportionate representation (in the absence of Palmerston North City statistics) must remain a<br />
concern for <strong>Police</strong> and our wider community.<br />
In recent years, Palmerston North City and Rural <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Police</strong> have worked with Korowai Kahui in<br />
developing a sudden death protocol and more recently have been working to educate community groups<br />
on the topic of 'P' (methamphetamine) abuse. During 2003 all staff within Palmerston North received<br />
training in Mäori sudden death protocol and Tikanga.<br />
