Police Recruitment Seminar A Success

Queensland Police hosted a police recruitment seminar at PCYC Whitsunday last Tuesday and it was great success.

25 people attended the evening and learned all about the Queensland Police Service (QPS) and the recruitment program.

Regional Recruitment Officer Haylee Collins conducted the evening and explained the criteria attendees have to meet to be accepted into the Queensland Police Recruitment Program.

All recruits must understand the QPS Values, Integrity, Respect and Courage. They must meet QPS desired attributes. To be a QPS Police officer you must be able to communicate with confidence, be good at decision making, respond quickly and effectively, work well in teams, be self-motivated and inspire others, follow safety guidelines, be resilient and stay focused, and show respect for diversity.

Haylee also showed the attendees videos from QPS police officers’ experience in the police force.

Following this Haylee discussed the fitness qualifications needed for an application to be considered, then explained the application process.

Haylee introduced two police officers after her talk, Senior Constable Natasha Keeman talked about her recruitment process that she took as a mother looking to change career path.

Constable Zac Richters-Nielson is a recent graduate and talked primarily about the recruitment process.

Both officers talked about how much they love working with the QPS and encouraged everyone to join the force, for a rewarding and challenging career path.
