FOUR of the almost 100 new officers who graduated from the Queensland Police Academy in Oxley last week will become part of the Redlands team.
Two officers will be stationed in Cleveland Station and a further two at Capalaba Station
Officers of this new intake bring with them a wealth of knowledge spanning various fields including emergency services, psychological science, criminology, nursing, animal science, as well as construction, sport, fitness, and baking.
Their previous roles encompass diverse professions such as vet nurses, helicopter pilots, baristas and dental technicians, highlighting the breadth of talent and experience now enhancing the QPS.
The QPS is amid its largest ever recruitment campaign, with an expected 800+ recruits expected to be undergoing training by August and over 2200 applicants progressing through the recruitment pipeline.
Due to the number of applicants wanting to join the Queensland Police Service, an additional intake of recruits will also now start in August.
In addition, the QPS will be hosting open days in both Brisbane and Townsville, showcasing the diverse career path options available in Queensland police.
Brisbane’s open day will be held at the Bob Atkinson Operational Capabilities Centre at the Wacol Police Complex on Saturday, July 20.
The open days provide an inside look at QPS’s state-of-the-art training facilities, including the driver training track and firearms range.
They provide the public with information on a career in policing, as well as the opportunity to connect with specialist units such as PolAir, Dog Squad, Forensic Services Group and Water Police Dive Squad, Stock Squad and much more.
