POLICE RECRUITMENT // Today Heidi Murphy from 3AW 693 Radio Melbourne interviewed me on the topic of the shortage of police recruits for Victoria Police - I discuss a range of strategies including: ✔ encouraging existing police officers to encourage friends and family to apply (possibly with a recruitment bonus) ✔ developing voluntary work and internship options ✔ coordinating work experience placements at a central level rather than station level with career practitioners in schools ✔ discussing the advantages of policing in advertising ✔ dispelling the myths of the dangers of policing in advertising ✔ streamlining the recruitment process You can listen to the 00:06:53 recording at https://sueellson.com/blog/victorian-police-recruitment-strategies-on-3aw-693am-melbourne/ and see links to further information. Thanks to James Szabo, Senior Producer for the invitation #vicpol #policerecruitment #police #careers #sueellson
