Q

Strategic Awareness

What is the third pou of Te Huringa o Te Tai?

Pou Hourua

A

Effective partnerships

Maori need to be acknowledged as treaty partners, rather than stakeholders. All levels of Maori community need to be involved in designing and planning and delivery. However it’s important to acknowledge the resource imbalance between Maori and the Crown; we need to ensure that our partners have the necessary capacity and capability to participate.

Investment in Iwi Maori partnerships:
Te Huringa o Te Tai encourages investment in Maori and is focused on the positive attributes of a person or a group.

We must be willing to share decision-making and be comfortable leading from behind.

Everyone taking responsibility:
We are all responsible for our decisions, interactions, commitment to learning and building upon success.
We need to change together with iwi, whanau and our partners.

Q

Strategic Awareness

Prevention First

Effective partnerships

A

We must build strong relationships of trust and confidence in each other with Iwi Maori, our communities and out partner agencies so that we can share information and implement collaborative approaches.

Police is uniquely placed to help other government agencies implement the social investment approach as ‘facilitators’ and ‘ connectors’.

We need to work together with other agencies, service providers and community, particularly Maori, Pacific and ethnic groups, in finding solutions that address the underlying causes of social harm.

We must make full use of opportunities to enlist the support of our partner agencies, through interagency Tasking & Coordination, to deploy our combined resources to beat demand.
