Office of the Auditor General Title: New Recruits in the Western Australia Police Summary: Western Australia Police (WAP) is responsible for policing the world’s largest single police jurisdiction and in 2011 WAP had 5 866 sworn police officers in its staff. New police constables are recruited and trained to maintain WAP operational strength and meet government commitments to increase the number of police. In the past five years around 2 000 new police constables have been recruited. In order to become a police constable, applicants need to complete three main steps; the recruitment and selection process, six months of intensive training at the Police Academy and 18 months of on-the-job training during probation. Upon completion of these stages, constables are awarded a Diploma in Public Safety (Policing) and are able to work unsupervised and can supervise the next set of probationary constables. Our audit assessed whether the recruitment and training of new recruits in WAP is efficient and effective. We focused on three questions: yy Are WAP’s recruitment and selection processes effective? yy Are new recruits adequately trained and supported? yy Is WAP using its resources to deliver police officers into the force efficiently and effectively?
