The apology will take place next month in front of survivors and relatives of those impacted.
Victoria Police will apologise for its role in the Stolen Generations as part of reforms stemming from the state's truth-telling inquiry. Chief Commissioner Shane Patton has confirmed the force's commitments will include improved processes for Aboriginal people dealing with police. This will involve expanded cultural awareness training across the organisation and upgraded reporting of police statistics about Aboriginal people.
A Victoria Police spokesman said Mr Patton's Stolen Generations apology will take place next month in front of survivors and relatives of those impacted. "The chief commissioner will deliver an apology to the survivors of the Stolen Generations and their families at a community event in Thornbury on Friday 24 May," he said. Police on Wednesday unveiled the installation of a shield presented to the force at last year's Yoorrook's appearance.
