Description
Our project aimed to gather diverse stories of encounters with the police. We collaborated with many whānau/citizens, to co-create their story of engaging with police. We also talked to police across the country and spent time with frontline officers to learn about their experiences of responding to mental health-related incidents. We aimed to positively impact future police engagement with people experiencing mental distress.
