recruitment of police force

Recruiting and retaining police officers is a challenge that many jurisdictions around the world face. In Queensland, Australia, this challenge is no different. The Queensland Police Service (QPS) is responsible for maintaining law and order across the state, and to do so, it requires a sufficient number of well-trained and experienced police officers on its force.
