If <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> <strong>Police</strong> and aligned agencies want to achieve long term crime reduction and improved road<br />

safety the key will be to invest in projects designed to influence social culture through our communities'<br />

young people.<br />

Over the last 12 months Palmerston North <strong>Police</strong> have worked closely with representatives from<br />

Education, Child Youth and Family, and Health to strengthen the nationally mandated YOTS 7<br />

collaboration.<br />

This has resulted in the completion of a strategic plan which sets in place the priorities of the collaborative.<br />

There is a strong alignment between the YOTS strategic plan and this document.<br />

Year One<br />

• Develop partnerships and strategy through the YOTS collaborative<br />

• Through the YOTS collaborative explore Youth at Risk project opportunities<br />

• Seek to align Youth Services with Child Abuse Team and the Family Violence Co-ordinator to<br />

deal with common clients and/or 'at risk' families<br />

• Build effective referral and follow-up processes to ensure risk clients/families receive<br />

appropriate support or intervention.<br />

• Ensure Youth education programmes are offered to and delivered in 'high needs' schools<br />

Year Two and Three<br />

• Align and support Youth at Risk projects to Korowai Kahui strategy<br />
