Re: Sapol April 2010
I see from SAPOL recruitment site that they have started recruiting from NZ which brings great hope to myself and my family that they shall began a recruitment drive from GB.
Has anyone heard anything from that side of the world? Or this side if you are in the now?

Just to warn you, the academy is a real dump, forewarned is forearmed as they say!

Hi Mate, we have been in touch via email a few times re your move to Oz, correct me if i'm wrong, your the ex fireman? Anyway, i will be on the police prosecutors course at the academy commencing 14th Feb, so could meet at the academy for a beer while our paths cross if you like.

Re: Sapol April 2010
I don't want to raise hopes higher than they are already, however I've got some good news that will no doubt be of interest to you all.
A guy at work (UKer) has been approached and invited to join the team of recruitment staff that.... "Will be travelling to the UK later this year for the next round of recruitment". They haven't told him when it will be yet but have stated it will definitely be happening as local recruitment is still falling short and they are not filling the training courses the have running at the academy.
Now, until it is on the website then I'd say nothing is confirmed. However, this is a massive step towards the fact that SAPol WILL be running another round of recruitment.
I don't have any inside knowledge but thought this post might be useful so anyone interested can keep track of the SAPol web site. SAPol might also have a facebook recruitment page that may also be useful to check.

Commisioner Mal Hyde was on Radio 5AA yesterday morning and he stated that the police will definately be returning to the uk ,later this year or early next year.
Due to the "Intrest still being shown In SAPOL, from Uk recruits "......?...MM

Not been on here for ages!!!!
Well it's been a great move! Port Lincoln is just beautiful!!! The children have settled well and are happy. The ozzies are lovely friendly people! We still miss the UK and our family and friends but we have done the right thing in coming here and up to now have no regrets. Going country for us was the absolute right thing to do and my husband Andrew is so happy at work.
Good luck to everyone applying for the next round! It's a rollercoaster of a ride, but well worth it in the end!!!
