Felix Ellis, Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Management
Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Management, Felix Ellis, congratulated the new constables.
"For the past 28 weeks, these 21 trainees have worked tirelessly to successfully reach graduation day and achieve their dream of becoming a police officer," Minister Ellis said.
"After honing their policing skills, with both skills‑based training and hands‑on experience, our new constables will jump straight into our 24-hour Police stations and bolster our frontline.
"From health care works to farmers, our new officers have come from all walks of life, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience with them.
"Tasmania Police is the most trusted in the country, and after rigorous training we are confident our newest recruits will live up to the high standards Tasmanians expect."
The 21 new constables - 7 women and 12 men - will be assigned to Bellerive, Bridgewater, Burnie, Devonport, Glenorchy, Hobart and Launceston stations.
"This Liberal Government is delivering for Tasmanians, investing in our police service to keep Tasmanians safe," Minister Ellis said.
