Coffs Harbour Police Station is opening its doors to the community to highlight the diverse range of career opportunities that exist within the NSW Police Force.
The event will run between 10am and 2pm today and tomorrow (Friday 2 August 2024 - Saturday 3 August 2024) and will offer an invaluable opportunity for residents to connect with their local police and explore the recruitment opportunities available within the Coffs/Clarence Police District.
The open day is part of the "You Should Be A Cop In Your Hometown" initiative, which aims to make it easier for those living in regional areas to pursue a career in the NSW Police Force while remaining close to their family, lifestyle, and community.
Attendees will gain insights into the daily operations of the police station and learn about the various benefits and incentives available for those interested in a policing career in regional areas.
Superintendent Joanne Schultz, Commander of the Coffs/Clarence Police District, said local police were excited to show the community the diverse and rewarding career opportunities that policing offers.
"This open day is an excellent chance for locals to explore the various avenues within the NSW Police Force and meet the dedicated officers who serve our region," Supt Schultz said.
"We encourage everyone who has considered a career in policing to come along, ask questions, and discover how they can contribute to their community in a meaningful way."
The event will provide information about the recruitment process, with the Police Recruitment team on hand to guide attendees through the steps to joining the NSW Police Force.
Diverse units within the NSW Police Force, including Highway Patrol, Marine Area Command, Dog Unit, and Rural Crime Prevention Team, will also be at the event.
