Tasmania Police has welcomed 21 new constables into its ranks, with the graduation of recruit course 4/2025 from the state’s police academy.  

Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Management, Felix Ellis, congratulated the new constables.

“For the past 28 weeks, these 21 trainees have worked tirelessly to successfully reach graduation day and achieve their dream of becoming a police officer,” Minister Ellis said.  

“After honing their policing skills, with both skills‑based training and hands‑on experience, our new constables will jump straight into our 24-hour Police stations and bolster our frontline.  

“From health care works to farmers, our new officers have come from all walks of life, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience with them.

“Tasmania Police is the most trusted in the country, and after rigorous training we are confident our newest recruits will live up to the high standards Tasmanians expect.”

The 21 new constables – seven women and 12 men – will be assigned to Bellerive, Bridgewater, Burnie, Devonport, Glenorchy, Hobart and Launceston stations.
