This report outlines the results of a workshop that was held in Mildura, Victoria on 5 and 6 August 2008. The theme of the workshop was ‘policing substance abuse in Indigenous communities in urban, rural and remote areas’. The workshop was organised by the NSW Police Force and Victoria Police and attended by 45 staff from both forces. The workshop was primarily facilitated by the Australian Institute of Criminology. The key objectives were to: establish what the key issues are for police with respect to substance abuse in Indigenous communities; identify differences in policing illicit drug use in Indigenous communities compared with other communities; and identify where police may be able to improve their response to these issues. This report provides a way for the findings of the workshop to be captured and documented for the benefit of participants and their agencies and for a broader audience including other police services, practitioners and policy makers.

Accessibility The Institute is committed to making its research available to the whole community. Accessibility is one of the key goals of the website. The HTML pages on our site comply as far as possible with the Priority 2 checkpoints of the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). These standards are endorsed by Australia's Government Online initiative. As well as a wide variety of information about the Australian Institute of Criminology and its work, the site includes full text of all current Institute publications as PDF documents. The Institute's published output consists largely of reports containing significant numbers of data tables, combined with analytical text. Tabular information is particularly complex to convert into the more accessible HTML format. It also requires extensive additional markup to render it accessible by screen readers, which use a synthesised voice to read items on the screen aloud. We encourage anyone who experiences difficulties accessing information on our website to contact us. In these cases, arrangements will be made to provide the information in an alternative format.
