Officers are placed on the same site as far as the roster allows, so you learn the site and the site learns you.

What a shift looks like

You are briefed on the site orders before your first shift and inducted on site.

On post, you log on digitally, hold the position or walk the pattern set for the site, deal with what comes up under the site's policy and Queensland law, and record every incident at the time with what you saw, what you did and how it ended. A supervisor visits unannounced and reads the log. At the end of the shift you hand over in writing.

Six things, no exceptions

What we require

  1. 01

    Queensland Class 1 licence

    Current, in your own name, checkable on the OFT register.

  2. 02

    First aid

    A current first aid certificate.

  3. 03

    Right to work and history

    The right to work in Australia and a clear police history as required by the licence.

  4. 04

    Transport

    Reliable transport; a driver licence for patrol roles.

  5. 05

    Presentation and communication

    Suited to retail and corporate sites: you will be talking to tenants, managers and the public every shift.

  6. 06

    Temperament

    To approach and resolve a situation rather than watch it, and to write it up accurately.

What we offer

Officers with police, military or close-protection backgrounds are particularly welcome; so are those starting out with the right licence and the right attitude.

  • Award rates, paid as they fall

    Penalties for nights, weekends and public holidays paid as the award sets them.

  • A site you know

    Rosters that keep you on the same site for as long as they can, so you learn it and it learns you.

  • A supervisor you can reach

    Unannounced visits, a read of your log, and one person to call.

  • Equipment that works

    Radios, earpieces, the Boomerang app on every shift, cameras where the client asks for them.
