Australia's only known Indigenous-run police station is building a positive relationship between locals and officers, and appears to be keeping crime rates low.
Reports of racial profiling and more than 432 Indigenous deaths in custody since 1991 have contributed to mistrust in law enforcement among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
But there's a different atmosphere in Western Australia’s outback town of Warakurna, more than 1700 kilometres north-east of Perth.
Policing there is not your average affair.
There are only two officers who run and oversee day-to-day operations, and both are Aboriginal.
