    In 2021, the New Zealand Police celebrated their 135th anniversary. Last year was An Garda Síochána’s centenary anniversary in Ireland. This year, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is celebrating 150 years of policing in Canada. Hear from police leaders from New Zealand, Ireland and Canada who have all undergone significant cultural change programs. They will share best practices in cultural change from different places and perspectives. This panel is named after the Maori process on reflecting on where we have come from in order to understand and embrace our cultural journey.
