Came across this on the WAPOL website - Didn't see it mentioned elsewhere.. "A recruit open day and free family concert will be held at the WA Police Academy in Joondalup on Saturday 2 April." Link here: http://www.police.wa.gov.au/Aboutus/News/PoliceAcademyOpenDayFreeFamilyConcert/tabid/1...

It said that now is the best time to apply and that pool waiting times are likely to be very short. ..So pretty much what we have been saying...

The PTA and WAPOL have an agreement that TO's will arrest and transport warrant arrests to the lockup, but WAPOL will take over from that point.

Congrats kilmo! There's been a little rumor among the ranks that the academy is looking at pushing a large number of recruits through early next year.

Kind of silly, really. The required beep test level is not really matched to the job duties..

Good luck to anyone that does apply though

I have seen the first two eps and it is something to behold...

A sad day indeed.

Seems to be a popular theme in aussie police departments - Axing units only to reform them later when they finally realize that they were needed.

RIP MIG.

Congrats Mac!

The fitting at S&H makes it feel that much more real - don't you think?

I hope you went with the tactical boots

Geez, Good to know.

I'll have to watch my speed when going past there... Although the only time I go past there is on an escort.. Probably should be extra careful in a work vehicle

Firstly, they may not be Transit Officers. Take a close look at the shoulder patches on their shirts (and on their caps). The PTA Transit Officers, which are the equivalent of the Police on railway property, have Transit Officer on their patches. They will usually also have a 'regimental number' wi...
