Kingaroy and Murgon police stations will each receive one new officer after this week’s Queensland Police Service graduation in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

The two officers were among 128 sworn in at the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Over the past eight months, the recruits have undergone training in operational policing issues, physical skills, driving, firearms and field craft.<\/p>\n

They will now undertake further training and on-the-job supervision as First Year Constables.<\/p>\n

The latest cohort of graduates follows the launch of the “Challenging, Rewarding, Policing” recruitment campaign last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The QPS has graduated 850 recruits in the past 12 months \u2014 up 68 per cent from the previous year – with more than 2370 applications in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

Recruits are supported with a training salary, cost-of-living bonus and on-campus accommodation (if eligible).<\/p>\n

A graduate with a relevant tertiary degree could also have up to $20,000 paid off their HECS debt.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington asked a Question on Notice to Police Minister Mark Ryan in regards to staff numbers at Proston, Wondai and Blackbutt police stations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

southburnett.com.au<\/strong> understands these stations have been unmanned for some time with officers from adjoining stations responding to incidents in these areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
