NSW POLICE ABORIGINAL STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2003 - 2006
The NSW Police Aboriginal Strategic Direction 2003 - 2006 sets out the NSW Police proceedures for working in areas with sizable aboriginal communities. Redfern was one of the LACs where the document was to be implimented. If there had been more done to impliment the proceedures set out in the Strategic Direction in Redfern LAC it is likely that the Civil Unrest of 15-16 February 2004 would not have happened or would have been handled in a different manner. This document and the way in which it was implimented in Redfern was the subject of questions at the Legislative Council Inquiry into Redfern Waterloo.
