THE NT Coroner Judge Greg Cavanagh has found police need sufficient training of cultural protocols to effectively communicate with Indigenous families during investigations after an inquest into the death of an NT station hand and father of five, who was poised to become a "future leader of his community".
Kumanjayi Bloomfield, 42, died in a crash on the Plenty Highway near Harts Range after he tried to evade a roadside breath test (RBT) in July 2019.
The inquest heard police called off the pursuit a short time after but later found Mr Bloomfield's body and the car wreckage.
