From what I gather, recruitment has stopped both in South Australia and WA.

Looks like the recession means more local residents applying for 'secure jobs'.

They MAY return to the UK in 2010 but I wouldn't bank on it.

Can he get a visa any other way, ie what qualifications has the wife, if he can get a visa Qld are always recruiting PACE recruits (previous Police experience).

Hi,

Both my wife and I are now permanent residents in Oz having left Scotland 18 months ago. Best move we have ever made. We have a daughter wishing to move here with her husband and young children to begin a new life.

Her husband is a Police Officer with 4 years service and wants to work as a Police Officer in Oz, Finding it really hard to make any progress despite his experience.

Welcome your suggestions particularly re Queensland, They are arriving in Oz in 4 weeks for a four week holiday. Any current information would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Baz

I am an ex British cop in the job in Qld, the long and short of it is you need PR to apply to the QPS on the PACE (experienced officer programme), so he needs to look at getting his PR, then taking it from there. The other options are West & South Oz police, however who knows if and when they will recruit again.

Hi Baz

Many thanks, likewise I am a retired UK Police Officer, now living and working in Oz with no wish to return to the UK.

My daughter will get sponsored for permanancy as a specialist nurse and could gain employment quickly in Queensland.

I will try and follow up some enquiries with Quensland Police re PACE.

Thanks once again, I am sure life as a Policeman in Oz is a bit different!!!

All the very best
