Security Response Section

33 Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (3 March 2020). How many police officers applied for positions within the new Security Response Section?

1. How many were accepted?

2. Were any applicants accepted from outside of South Australia?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I am advised:

180 applicants were selected to progress to the Aptitude Assessment Centre. 81 applicants were shortlisted to progress to the basic skills course (BSC). Successful completion of the BSC qualifies officers to apply for a position at the security response section. Team member positions are currently under selection.

Only serving members of South Australia Police are eligible to apply.
