In order to further enhance cultural change within police that will ensure police practices and procedures do not disproportionately contribute to the incarceration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the following initiatives should be considered:

• increasing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment within police;
• providing specific cultural awareness training for police being deployed to an area with a significant Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population;
• providing for lessons from successful cooperation between police and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to be recorded and shared;
• undertaking careful and timely succession planning for the replacement of key personnel with effective relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities;
• improving public reporting on community engagement initiatives with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; and
• entering into Reconciliation Action Plans.
