On the Job
Once you've graduated from the WA Police Academy, you have endless opportunities. Once you have completed your probationary period, you will be permanently appointed and can resume your career climbing the ranks or move into specialised units.
Recognition of Prior Service
Prior service will be recognised up to a maximum of a fifth-year constable.
Where will I be placed?

Back in the UK, I worked alone almost all of the time and this was both lonely and sometimes dangerous on occasions. I was relieved to learn that the WA Police Force always pair officers together to maintain safety. The move here for my family and I has been a dream come true!
