WelcomeIf you are new to Poms In Oz and migrating to Australia or currently living in Australia feel free to say hi to all the other either in or moving to Oz.
Hello again
This is my second hello, nobody replied to my 1st sometime ago(not looking for sympathy). Now that i have got the hang of the site, thought i would re-introduce and ask if anyone out there (WA particularly) who works for or knows someone who works for the Police (nil response careers forum). Dont worry acknowledging an association to a police person isnt going to get you in any trouble! Seriously im intersted in chatting about the set-ups for police in general to see how it compares to UK. After a visit i get the impression Police arent particularly well liked ? but isnt that the case the world over - nobody likes them until you need them.
A polite naf-off would do, at least then i know it was worthwhile posting. Hope you're anjoying the current climate. Damp Devon - Mark.

Don't know a real lot but there is a police academy near here where they train recruits. You have to have Year 12 pass to join and they train you for quite a while in all sorts of physical activities as well as stuff like coping with public , mental illness etc. They all carry guns here so I guess they must train you in shooting too. They all stick together, there is a lot of camaraderie. It is a stressful job and sometimes they get hurt. hope this helps a bit
