were in management positions.
Mrs. SIINGH highlighted the inconsistency of recognizing ethnic coordinator’s roles designation within Auckland
[iii] Mr. RAMAN asked if access to DC and AC was available to increase trust of confidence among ethnic
communities if there was any reason of dissatisfaction towards NZP from member of public, e.g.- delay in
investigation by police, not talking a complaint etc.
Inspector PATEL suggested that first point of contact has to be ELOs, but Mr. RAMAN insisted that in case of
keeping the confidentiality of any police employee’s performance perhaps it was best to have the access to the DC
and to keep the board members free from bureaucracy.

subject of fraud/ suicide/ exploitation etc. Item to be on agenda for next meeting.
