Two new officers have been assigned to South Burnett stations following the latest police graduation ceremony in Brisbane.
The QPS graduated 155 new officers on Friday, the largest cohort in 33 years.
Six officers have been assigned to the Darling Downs Police District, including one officer each to Murgon and Nanango stations.
Acting Commissioner Shane Chelepy expressed his pride in the new officers.
“This is a milestone achievement for not only the QPS in welcoming our largest recruit intake in 33 years, but for each and every one of our graduating officers,” Acting Commissioner Chelepy said.
“Even before graduation, these officers demonstrated their dedication to communities across south-east Queensland, stepping up to assist people to prepare for Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
“Our recruits come from diverse backgrounds in both life and previous professions, including our graduates who bring a deep connection to First Nations communities.
“By welcoming such a diverse intake of officers, we hope to further bolster our relationships and build trust with the communities we serve.”
