Where we are up to
The role of a Sheriff's Aboriginal Liaison Officer (SALO) is to provide practical support and assistance to Aboriginal community members, who are seeking to address their outstanding infringement obligations.
Recruitment is underway to employ additional SALOs to provide greater coverage across the state and enable greater out-reach to the Aboriginal community. Additional resourcing, will result in improved attendance at events and greater promotion of the SALO program across the Aboriginal community.
