This #ReconciliationWeek, we want to take the opportunity to highlight the work of our Police Aboriginal Liaison Officers (PALOs). 

PALOs are Victoria Police Officers who work closely with our Aboriginal Community Liaison Officers (ACLOs), community groups and Aboriginal communities to break down barriers between police and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. 

Our PALO program is one of the ways we strive for better outcomes for the Aboriginal communities we serve and work towards reconciliation.

In the Greater Shepparton area, on the Traditional Lands of the Yorta Yorta and Bangerang people, there are 15 PALOs who regularly attend community events and participate in working groups. 

One of the initiatives happening in the Shepparton area is the cultural training of all police officers. 

As part of their induction, police officers experience a two-day cultural camp in partnership with mulanakaalinya and local Elders. 

Officers learn and gain a better understanding of the local Aboriginal Community, its history, culture and traditions, which helps foster and improves relationships between police and the local Aboriginal Community.

Victoria Police recognises the traditional custodians of the land in which we live and work, and pay our respects to the Elders past and present.
