Woke society doesn’t do the profession any favours. Who wants to be sent to Melb, Townsville,WA&NT? It’s becoming an increasing OH&S risk. It would take great restraint to not form judgment dealing with repeat offenders that can’t be rehabilitated. Oh and the VACCINE MANDATE! 🙄

Get woke, go broke... No self-respecting person wants to be associated with these people. When merit goes out the window, standards aren't far behind. Welcome to the Lavender Mafia State...

Can't imagine why police forces around the country might be getting a bad rap... Can't seem to coax the community into supporting and joining?!

Queenslanders took a stance against racism, homophobia, bullying and violence in the workplace….no one wants to work where those basic values of human dignity are broken!

it is the fact that the leadership will not back the rank and file officers and the toxic Labor government that have been slowly destroying the police force here for over 20 years. I'm surprised anyone applies at all and that there is anyone still left in the job

employ all woman force mate 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Meet people, beat them, what's not to love?

What can’t get enough racists or neo-nazis to fill the ranks…….? Bit of a surprise in QLD…

Why are the police overwhelmingly always from the ethnic Anglo White Christian community of Australians?

They STILL mandate 3 covid injections and 4 for over 50’s and wonder why they have trouble finding recruits.
