Sam Aberahama has recently retired from Policing after 36 years, the last 14 years as the Police Commander in Tairawhiti. Some highlights include walking alongside communities, whanau and individuals on their journeys.

Sam is working alongside Tim Marshall of Tauawhi and Cain Kerehoma of Taiki e to help develop a Community-led Prevention partner initiative in our region. This collaboration brings together Tauawhi’s extensive experience in men’s support since 2010 and Taiki e’s innovative approach to community impact.

Sam is loving the experience and is continuously learning in the community space.

Sam enjoys exploring the beautiful Tairawhiti region with his wife Cathy and spending time with his mum, children and mokopuna in Hawke’s Bay.
