If you love your job as a police officer but can hear the Tasmanian lifestyle calling, this episode of the podcast is for you as we are going to be talking to Senior Constable William Broadbridge who made the move from NSW Police.

We often talk about how people can become police officers once they finish school, or if they want to change careers, but some people might be surprised to know we also have a recruit course available for existing police officers in other jurisdictions across Australia and New Zealand.

We call it our accelerated training, or fast track program.

It runs for 12 weeks and includes modules on Tasmanian legislation and Tasmania Police policy and procedures, as well as physical training and instruction on firearms and operational safety tactics.

We’ll find out what the application process and training course for fast track recruits is like, as well as hear about what policing is like on the north east coast of Tasmania.
