Queensland Police Service cancels recruit training in face of low enrolment, despite high workforce attrition
The Queensland Police Service has cancelled one of its recruit training periods due to a lack of enrolments, raising questions about its ability to attract and retain staff.
The intake was scheduled for December at the Oxley academy in Brisbane's south.
Its cancellation comes as the service desperately tries to draw recruits — waiving entrance requirements and test fees — and address cultural issues highlighted in recent reports.
Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll maintained there was a strong "pipeline" of interest for the force, while Minister Mark Ryan insisted the government was on track to grow the service by 1,450 new police officers.
