Michael Ferguson,Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Management
The Hodgman Liberal Government continues to deliver on its commitments with an additional 19 police officers graduating today.
In our first term we rebuilt Tasmanian Police numbers and today’s 19 new officers are part of our pledge to recruit a further 125 new front line officers over four years to make Tasmania a safer place in which to live.
The 10 men and 9 women will now take up their posts at stations in Hobart, Glenorchy, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie.
These new officers will put their training and practical experiences into action and begin serving and protecting the Tasmanian community from next week.
Recruiting is ongoing for the next scheduled courses and I would urge anyone who is considering a rewarding career in policing to visit the Tasmanian Police website.
The Hodgman Liberal Government proudly welcomes these new Constables to the ranks and wishes them all the best as they forge their own paths within the Tasmanian Police Service while protecting their communities.
