copper wanting Oz!!!
 

Hello

I'm new to this forum but have read many threads.

I'm a "probationer" Copper with 18 months experience (5 years Military Police before that) desperately wanting to work and live in Oz.

I know that a police "trade" scores NIL and I could not apply for the SA Police Recruitment Drive early last year due to not having 3 years Civvy Police experience. (Well done and congratulations to all that were successfull!!!)

I'm wondering if anyone knows any other Police Force in other states in Oz will be carrying out the same type of Police Recruitment drive as South Australia in the near future.

I do not have any other Trades or qualifications to get to Oz and would like to carry on the job I love in Oz.

Your comments would be appreciated, Thanks.

I did a search in Google for someone else (I think it was Rob Morton-Jone actually) for police forces in Oz and it comes up straight away. Its quite easy to fine out information on the different areas to about recruitment.

I will try and find the old thread! ;)

I'm not 100 pct sure of my facts on this one, However you could try Prison officer, They are always looking for those, and pays possibly more than the average cop wage.

Thanks for that. I will keep an eye on these sites.

Sa police force had a glut of applications when they first recruited from the uk, some applications that could not make the move for the start I think was in March have been put on hold ready for and if the the next drive, if you take a look at the SA website they state this and say they may look in to recruiting again in the future. If you wish to apply at the moment you have to travel to the SA headquarters to do any recruitment tests if you wish to apply to the uk. According to the newspaper the Australian they are really under manned anyway. A bit like the uk procons being teamed with procons, responding to jobs as a single unit, and the usually that you meet in your everyday job.
