ACT Policing quote

 

I am immensely proud to be leading a team of highly professional members who are deeply committed to the safety and protection of the Canberra community. Working in community policing offers endless opportunities and no two careers will be the same. We need people who are community focused, who want to make a difference to the lives of their fellow Canberrans and who are up for a challenge. We are a small jurisdiction that has always shown we can be innovative and creative.
