This is Tas Police

Episode 4: So, you want to be a cop

This is Tas Police

Show Notes

In this episode I talk to Sergeant Simon Clayton and Senior Constable Ruth Purcell from Recruiting Services, Tasmania Police.

Ruth and Simon are part of the team that gets out and about across the state, talking to interested people, young and old, about joining Tasmania Police.

As police officers themselves, they know exactly what values and skills are needed in the job, and they can tell pretty quickly whether or not someone has what it takes.

They talk about what the recruiting team is looking for when someone applies to join. They also share some tips to help you make sure you’re as ready as possible when you apply.
