110 new police officers will hit the beat around QUEENSLAND after graduating from the QPS Academy late last week.
The first year constables will go all around the state – including 19 to North Queensland.
17 will head to stations around Townsville while two will go to Mt Isa and Charters Towers.
The cohort has backgrounds in defence, retail and professional sports, while others have studied criminology, engineering and health.
Acting Commissioner of Police, Shane Chelepy APM, welcomed the new Constables at their graduation ceremony.
“Our new officers come from a wide range of backgrounds, and each brings unique experiences that will strengthen our Service and enhance the way we support the community,” Acting Commissioner Chelepy said.
“Starting a policing career can be both challenging and rewarding, and I know our new constables will quickly discover the positive impact they can have in people’s lives.
“Building trust and working closely with communities is at the heart of policing, and I look forward to seeing these officers grow in their careers.”
