Community advocates are calling on ACT police to address major gaps in the way they deal with First Nations communities, following the release of a report by Commonwealth and ACT Ombudsman Michael Manthorpe into ACT Policing. The report examined police engagement with the territory s Indigenous community, focusing on the effectiveness of programs, policies, procedures and training.   We observed a number of gaps in ACT Policing’s policy framework where either no policy or procedure exists, or where an existing policy or procedure was incomplete, the report reads.   There are currently no written policies or procedures for members to reference when conducting a field contact, carrying out an arrest, or referring an individual to the Front Up program or the Police Community Youth Club.
