The Queensland Police Service (QPS) is trying to poach new recruits from interstate, offering to pay up part of the HECS debt of some university graduates who then go through the police academy, in a bid to bolster the thin blue line.
The $90 million recruitment drive to address police employment challenges includes a raft of incentives to lure officers to join Queensland police, like the service paying up to $20,000 for the relocation costs of police officers from interstate or overseas.
