Tasmania Police recruits will again be able to complete their training in the north of the state in 2023, with a Launceston-based recruit course confirmed for January.
17 recruits have been training in Launceston since May this year as part of the northern pilot course and are due to graduate alongside their southern counterparts in November.
Assistant Commissioner (Specialist Support) Adrian Bodnar said the success of the pilot meant Tasmania Police was keen to continue the initiative next year.
"It's exciting for us to be able to confirm a northern-based course will run again in 2023," he said.
"We've seen firsthand how beneficial it has been to give our northern-based recruits the chance to remain close to home while completing their police training, and it will be great to see them stationed in their home districts in a couple of months, when they graduate as probationary constables."
"Their classroom at the University of Tasmania's Newnham campus is set up with state-of-the-art technology, which allows them to take part in live-streamed lessons to and from the Academy and the course also includes lots of face-to-face learning, delivered by northern-based staff."
"Wherever you live in Tasmania, if you have ever considered a career in policing there has never been a better time to take that first step," Assistant Commissioner Bodnar said.
"We're increasing our police numbers, so we're recruiting more than ever."
"Our friendly recruitment team is there to help you through the application process, so take the plunge today and visit our website for more information."
