Working with Victoria's multicultural communities
Victoria Police promotes and facilitates engagement between police and culturally diverse communities through a range of corporate and local initiatives including:
Multicultural Liasion Officer Program
Victoria Police maintains a network of Multicultural Liason Officers (MLO) based in a range of metropolitan and regional areas. These officers are responsible for:
- Assisting police with information and advice on policing diverse communities.
- Enabling culturally and faith diverse communities access to Victoria Police services.
- Providing new and emerging communities with information on Victorian legislation and on the role of police in Victoria.

The New and Emerging Community Liaison Officers (NECLO) play a key role in breaking down barriers between police and new and emerging communities.
