Explore policing careers with QPS at EKKA

The Queensland Police Service (QPS) is proud to be involved in another year at Queensland’s largest and most loved annual event – the Ekka, showing off what the Service has to offer to potential recruits.

Yesterday, Police Minister Mark Ryan visited the QPS Ekka exhibit, where there was a hive of activity from attendees.

Ekka visitors are encouraged to visit the QPS stall to explore a rewarding career with the QPS as well as view the operational vehicle and motorcycle.

Recruiting officers are on hand to engage in discussions about recruitment opportunities and Fraud and Cyber Crime detectives will be available to provide information on cyber safety and have an activity book ready for youngsters.

Visitors also have the opportunity to check out the QPS’ newest addition to its fleet, the first electric vehicle, alongside a police motorcycle.

The display will be open from 9am to 6pm daily until Sunday, August 20 on level one of the Royal International Convention Centre at the RNA Showgrounds.

Assistant Commissioner Mark Kelly said police officers play a crucial role in safeguarding the well-being of everyday Queenslanders.

“Our dedicated recruiting officers are excited to be at the Ekka again this year and chat to those considering a career with the QPS,” said Assistant Commissioner Kelly.

“There has never been a better time to apply.”

Police officers aren’t born, they’re made, with every challenge or adversity overcome, and their personal values, helping to shape them into great officers who can make a real difference.

There is no better time to join the QPS. You’re already ready.
