The Queensland Police are set to launch a new campaign with significant incentives in an attempt to recruit more officers.
The ‘Try It On’ campaign will see officers in training receive a boost in financial support when they sign up to one of Queensland’s two Police Academies.
Starting Wednesday, May 10, New officers will receive a cost-of-living allowance as well as a new recruit wage which will be accessible over their eight months of training.
The cost of living allowance will see new recruits have their wage increased to around $52,000 annually.
Live-in recruits will also have their accommodation fees waived which is estimated to save each officer around $200 a week.
