The Indigenous Police Recruitment Our Way Delivery Program (IPROWD) supports Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people to join the NSW Police Force or other Justice and Emergency Services Agencies. Since 2008 more than 700 Aboriginal students have enrolled, with many going on to gain employment with NSW Police as sworn and unsworn officers, or working in other government agencies.

The IPROWD program is designed to prepare students for the University Certificate in Workforce Essentials (UCWE), the Associate Degree in Policing Practice (ADPP) offered by Charles Sturt University (CSU) at the NSW Police Academy, or other Vocational and Study Pathways.
