A total of 51 former and current WA Aboriginal police officers and employees have been recognised at the inaugural Aboriginal Service Medal ceremony, which capped off Reconciliation Week events.
Key points:
* WA Police launched its Reconciliation Action Plan earlier this week
* New Aboriginal Service Medals have been described as 'powerful symbols'
* The police force plans to boost the number of Aboriginal officers among its ranks
Many of the officers gathered acknowledged that being Indigenous and a member of WA Police came with challenges, but they spoke of a changing culture and of hope that future Aboriginal employees would have a better go of it.
