The Charles Sturt University (CSU) School of Policing Studies in Goulburn received a NSW Premier’s Public Sector Awards 2009 Commendation on Friday 7 May for its Indigenous Police Recruitment Out West Delivery (IPROWD) project. The award was in the category of Engaging with the Community, and included CSU’s program delivery partners the Department of Police and Emergency Services, NSW Police Force, the Department of Education and Training, and TAFE Western Institute. The Head of the School of Policing Studies, Associate Professor Rosemary Woolston, said, “The School of Policing Studies has been actively involved in this program since its inception and has worked closely with TAFE Dubbo to ensure the curriculum suitably prepares the Indigenous students for study in the Associate Degree in Policing Practice, the entry course for the NSW Police Force. In particular, Mr Paul Comino, a lecturer in the School, has been a key player in this project.”
