On Saturday 15 April 2023, police from Mount Druitt Police Area Command, assisted by the Aboriginal Engagement Team, Mounted Unit, and Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, attended the 2023 COOEE Festival at Mount Druitt Town Centre Reserve.

Last held in 2019, the return of the event was warmly welcomed, and was a fantastic opportunity to bring the community together to celebrate Aboriginal traditions, culture, dance and history.

Acting Superintendent Samuel Nelson said with almost 3000 people in attendance, the event was a huge success and a good opportunity to strengthen relationships with those who attended.

“We’ve received very strong positive feedback about our attendance at the event, and overwhelming praise from event organisers,” A/Supt nelson said.

“I’m proud of our teams for representing the organisation in such a positive way, by engaging, sharing and celebrating with all who attended.”
