A career as a community constable with SA Police means you’ll be performing an extremely challenging yet uniquely rewarding role. You’ll have the opportunity to gain the respect and support of local First Nations communities or diverse culture communities and make a lasting and significant contribution to their daily lives.

Working at various urban and regional locations throughout South Australia, you’ll use your understanding of the cultural and social issues within the community to bridge the gap between communities and local policing.

You’ll be a strong and active leader, and be involved in running a wide range of programs to address the key issues affecting your local community. Through your work, you’ll make a positive contribution not only to the local people, but also to the police officers you work alongside.

Benefits

If we offer you a role as a community constable with SA Police, you’ll undertake an eighteen week, full-time, paid training course at our academy.
