THIRTY people died during police pursuits or in other contact with police or while in jail last year.
去年共有三十人死于警方办案过程，其中包括警方追捕，或他方式与警方接触，以及死于监狱中。
While the number of people who have died in custody has fallen slightly on previous years, those who died in police operations rose from 10 in 2008 to 18 last year, the highest since 2004. Police said the rise did not represent a trend.
尽管死于狱中的人数较前几年有所减少，而那些死于警方办案过程的人数从2008年的10人，上升至去年的18人。这是至2004年以来的最高纪录。警方则称这已上升并不代表某种趋势。
The cases last year included the death of the toddler Skye Sassine during a police pursuit on New Year's Eve, and the death of a 24-year-old mentally ill man, Elijah Holcombe, shot by police in Armidale.
去年的案例包括蹒跚学步的Skye Sassine，于新年前夜死于警方的一项追捕活动，以及24岁的精神病人Elijah Holcombe于Armidale镇被警方击毙。
The figures are in a report by the State Coroner. The coroner is still to review the action of police and prison authorities and determine the official cause of death for those who died last year.
这些数据来自于州总验尸官的一份报告。验尸官还将审核警方和监狱管理机构的行为，并裁定年死亡的这些人的正式死因。
Mr Holcombe's mother, Tracey, said yesterday that she believed police needed more training for dealing with people with a mental illness.
Holcombe的母亲Tracey昨天表示，她认为警方还须加强（在办案过程中）与精神病人周旋的培训。
The report includes details of cases the coroner determined last year, including those of 10 people who were mentally ill, or suicidal. Four of them killed themselves in prison even though authorities were aware of their suicidal thoughts.
这份报告还包括验尸官去年裁定的几个案例的细节，其中包括精神病人及自杀倾向的人，共计10人。其中有四人在狱中自杀，尽管监狱管理方知道他们的自杀倾向。
The case of one man, Glen Kennedy, who fell to his death from a balcony in South Coogee in 2007 after police negotiators had tried to stop him, prompted the coroner to recommend that a police training program devised 10 years earlier be made a mandatory education scheme.
其中有这样一例。2007年在South Coogee，Glen Kennedy在在警方的谈判人员试图阻后，跳下阳台自杀身亡。这促使验尸官推荐（警方）将一项十年前设计的警方培训计划列为为必修课程。
Police said in a statement they were ''committed to minimising these incidents'' and would assess any recommendations made by the coroner.
警方在一份声明中表示，他们“承诺减少此类事件的发生”，并将对验尸官的任何建议做出评估。
''Police dedicate their lives to keeping the community safe.''
“为确保社区的安全，警方愿献出他们的生命。”
