Somerville work together with NT Police to encourage youth engagement in Katherine area

The Somerville Katherine office recently hosted a visit from Senior Constable Dani Mattiuzzo, who works in the Youth Engagement Unit. This unit services all schools in Katherine and the surrounding area.

Senior Constable Mattiuzzo is also involved in identifying youth at risk within the school system and works closely with the Katherine Somerville team to provide programs and support to youth in the Katherine area.

The Northern Territory Police Youth Engagement Officers are responsible for carrying out a proactive policing role by establishing positive relationships with students, parents and teaching staff, to promote a supportive learning environment and safer school communities.
