More than ‘just a job’ on offer at the NSW Police Career Day

27 MAY 2002

A desire to have a career, rather than ‘just a job’ was the motivation for Joanne Cox to join the police. It’s a decision she will be sharing with others at this Sunday’s NSW Police Career Day.

A desire to have a career, rather than ‘just a job’ was the motivation for Joanne Cox to join the police. It’s a decision she will be sharing with others at this Sunday’s NSW Police Career Day in Nowra. 

Ms Cox, from Nowra, is currently completing the NSW Police recruit education program, the Diploma of Policing Practice (DPP). A mother of three, she combines part-time factory work with her distance education studies.

She is a guest speaker at the NSW Police Career Day, this Sunday 2 June at the Police and Community Youth Club, Park Rd, Nowra. 

The Career Day, which runs from 10am to 2pm, is a joint initiative of the NSW Police and Charles Sturt University (CSU) and enables visitors to find out more about policing as a career and the recruit education program, the Diploma of Policing Practice. 

Two formal information sessions featuring current students, recent graduates and University and Police staff will be held at 10am. Speakers will explain career options within the NSW Police, health and lifestyle issues and the education program. 

The Diploma of Policing Practice, offered by CSU, can be studied either full-time or part-time by distance education, making it accessible to all prospective students.

Applications for the Diploma may be submitted at the Career Day, and anyone wishing to apply should bring originals, as well as copies, of documents such as birth certificates, results of prior study and references.

The Police Career Day is being held at the Nowra Police and Community Youth Club, Park Road, Nowra.
