Selection Process
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION RELATING TO THE SELECTION PROCESS APPLIES TO APPLICANTS WHO DO NOT HAVE POLICING EXPERIENCE.
Many well-qualified and committed applicants seek a career with the Queensland Police Service (QPS). Entry is highly competitive and based on merit.
The process for selection complies with the Police Service Administration Act 1990 (Qld). This Act prescribes that the appointment of a person as a police recruit must be made by fair and equitable procedures that select applicants on the basis of merit and prevent discrimination.
There are three stages of the selection process. To be eligible for appointment to the QPS as a police recruit, you must successfully satisfy the requirements of all three stages.
Remember, you are competing against other applicants on a merit basis. The better you perform in each criteria, the stronger your chances are of selection.
