Are you looking at becoming a Police Officer? They serve to protect public life and property. They undertake extensive on-the-job training and perform a diverse range of duties, including maintaining public order and safety; being the first responder to emergency calls; investigating and prosecuting criminal offences; enforcing traffic law; securing and examining crime scenes; and dealing with violent offenders or people under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
Police Officers in Australia are required to carry a firearm and must pass a series of background checks and psychometric, fitness and medical tests. Police Officers interact with members of the public daily and must be adept at resolving disputes, de-escalation, and remaining calm under pressure.
Currently, there are only 457 positions for Police officers across Australia with a common salary of $68K per year. While it is an extremely competitive role to get into, The Perfect Resume team has helped others to land an interview in the Government & Defence industry. We believe we can increase your chances with our resume writing services also!

- Securing and examining scenes of crimes and accidents.
- Maintaining public order and safety and preventing anti-social behaviour.
- Pursuing, arresting and interviewing suspected offenders.
- Enforcing traffic laws, including testing suspected alcohol and drug-affected drivers.
- Managing traffic in congested areas.
- Providing advice and assistance to victims of crime and their families.
