Are you interested in becoming a Queensland Police Officer? The Queensland Police service is holding a seminar in Airlie Beach on the 30th July 2024, to answer any questions you may have about joining the force.
The event will provide those interested in a career as a police officer with a range of relevant information and it will also give attendees the opportunity to ask questions about the application process.
The session will be conducted by experienced, serving Queensland police officers. They will explain the requirements for entry and alongside giving you an insight into their own experiences.
Senior Constable Steve Smith has been with the police force for 33 years, and has facilitated previous events before:
“The Recruitment Seminars provide a lot more in-depth information that’s not available on the web,” he explained.
The event will give details about the entire process, from checking eligibility through to getting prepared for the academy and sitting exams.
Prior to attending, however, all attendees must register for the event on the QPS’ Eventbrite page and bring photo identification, a printed or electronic (email, Eventbrite App) copy confirming registration to gain entry to the event and arrive 10 minutes prior to the events starting time.
When asked about the qualities police recruiters seek, Senior Constable Smith emphasized their preference for individuals who are community-oriented and whom already demonstrate a commitment to serving people across various facets of their lives.
He also added that recruits need to be prepared for a strong study discipline to be introduced into their lives and have a slightly higher than basic fitness level.
Anyone over the age of 17 can apply, but you need to be 18 to commence work.
“Younger people who have recently left school are familiar with the study,” he confirmed.
“But with the retirement age at 60, we recently took on a 1st year who was 57 and used to be in the army - he gave three years’ service.”
The event is open to all interested in joining the force, head on down to Whitsunday PCYC if you want to see what the police is all about.
