If you live in a regional area, the You Should Be A Cop In Your Hometown program makes it easier to join the NSW Police Force while staying connected to family, lifestyle and community.
The program provides greater confidence about where recruits may work once they join, creating opportunities to live and work in their own community. The initiative is being rolled out across priority regional areas, including Canowindra (through Cowra Police).Becoming a police officer and moving away from home can be a significant decision, particularly for those with strong family connections and established lifestyles in regional communities.
When joining the NSW Police Force, applicants can identify preferred work locations, including where they currently live, and gain greater certainty around future placement.
The program supports recruits to begin a policing career while remaining connected to their community, provided there are no barriers to living in their hometown.
Find out more at the NSW Police Force Western Regional Roadshow this Saturday 16 May at the Cowra PCYC, 10am-2pm.
Head along, say hi and find out more about identifying your hometown as your preferred location.
