The Crisafulli Government is restoring safety where you live and rebuilding the frontline, after welcoming 109 new constables into the Queensland Police Service.
Since the October 2024 election, a total of 1,805 new officers have been sworn into the Queensland Police Service - exceeding the Crisafulli Government's election commitment to deliver 1,600 new recruits and taking the Service beyond 13,000 officers for the first time in the State's history after Labor's decade of decline.
The new constables will be deployed across Queensland, from Cairns, Townsville and Mount Isa, to Logan, the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Ipswich, Rockhampton and Toowoomba.
The intake reflects the broad range of Queenslanders answering the call to serve, with recruits aged between 19 and 49 and coming from a wide range of careers including teaching, nursing, firefighting, defence, aviation, construction, hospitality and community services.
Tonight's graduation includes five First Nations recruits and officers born in countries including England, South Africa, New Zealand, India, Colombia, Spain, China and the United States.
The Crisafulli Government is turning the tide on Labor's Youth Crime Crisis, backing police with stronger laws and more boots on the ground which is already delivering early results with a 7.2 per cent drop in the number of victims of crime in Queensland in 2025, compared to the previous year.
Minister for Police and Emergency Services Dan Purdie said the milestone showed Queenslanders were answering the call to serve.
"Tonight marks a major milestone in rebuilding Queensland's police frontline, with more than 1,800 recruits now sworn into the Queensland Police Service since the October 2024 election," Minister Purdie said.
"These 109 new constables come from all walks of life, but they now share one mission - to serve and protect Queenslanders.
"We promised Queenslanders we would rebuild the frontline and strengthen the Queensland Police Service, and we have now exceeded our commitment of 1,600 new recruits since the election.
"More police on the beat means safer communities, faster responses and stronger support for victims of crime after a decade of decline under the former Labor Government."
Queensland Police Service Acting Commissioner Brett Pointing said the graduating officers represented the future of policing in Queensland.
"Our newest officers reflect the diversity and strength of Queensland's communities," Acting Commissioner Pointing said.
"They bring a broad range of skills, perspectives and life experiences that will be invaluable as they work to keep Queenslanders safe and build trust in the communities they serve."
