Part Time and Casual Police

[celestial_insight]

WA Police will tomorrow launch the latest phase of its recruiting campaign – this time targeting former officers to fill a range of new casual and part-time positions.

An advertisement in Saturday’s edition of The West Australian newspaper will call for expressions of interest from former police officers to fill part-time and casual positions to support frontline police.

Commissioner Karl O’Callaghan said there was a wealth of policing knowledge and experience in the community and he hoped to tap into that.

“These people won’t be undertaking frontline roles but they will fill other important positions that will free up full time police officers for vital operational duties,â€

I think thats a great idea. I have often wondered why they do not offer part time/casual roles for the frontline aswell. I know it means more training, but wouldnt it also widen the recruitment pool?? I know they have a lot of expert HR consultants, so I am sure this would have been explored as an option, but I am curious about it.
What are others thoughts on the matter? Especially those current members.....

Sounds like a great idea lets hope they dont go down the path of "volunteer police" like some other countries have haha

At least we wouldn't have a problem with over-crowding in our jails. Hm681 would just shoot all the jailees.
