The Queensland Police Service has marked a significant milestone with its largest graduation ceremony in 33 years, welcoming 155 new officers into the ranks.
Among them, 11 have been assigned to stations across Logan.
The latest recruits have already put their training to the test, stepping up to assist with preparations and recovery efforts during Tropical Cyclone Alfred before officially beginning their duties.
Logan’s police force will see an increase in numbers with new officers deployed across the region: Logan Central (2), Loganholme (2), Crestmead (2), Beenleigh (1), Browns Plains (1), Jimboomba (1), Logan Village (1), and Springwood (1).
Acting Commissioner of Police Shane Chelepy APM commended the recruits for their dedication and willingness to serve Queensland communities.
“This is a milestone achievement for not only the QPS in welcoming our largest recruit intake in 33 years, but for each and every one of our graduating officers today,” Acting Commissioner Chelepy said.
“Even before graduation, these officers demonstrated their dedication to communities across South East Queensland, stepping up to assist people to prepare for Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Their efforts in the past week have been invaluable.”
