POLICE SAY INCORPORATING TE REO MĀORI HELPS FIGHT CRIME, SEEK TOTAL IMMERSION RECRUITS
In Aotearoa, the police are adopting te reo Māori as more than just a nod to diversity.
They've found it useful as a crime fighting tool and say students from Kura Kaupapa total immersion schools could be crucial to the future of the force.
Also important is building capacity. Police still want more Māori to join them, but Gemmell is focussed more on those who have been schooled in total immersion, saying they are the future officers needed now.......
