ACT Policing is the community policing arm of the Australian Federal Police (AFP), which means when a crime is committed in the ACT you are the first point of contact.

ACT Policing is responsible for providing quality and effective policing services to the ACT, in partnership with the community and the ACT Government. Our mission is to keep the peace and preserve public safety within the ACT. We strive to deliver a professional, innovative and effective policing service in an ever changing environment.

As part of the AFP, ACT Policing will give you a career that delivers variety, a collaborative and inclusive culture, unique challenges and the reward of protecting Australians and Australia's interests from serious crime.

Your ACT Policing career will commence as an entry level recruit with world leading training at the AFP College and you will commence earning a salary at the start of your recruit course. The recruit course provides the opportunity to obtain POL50124 Diploma of Policing.

Once you successfully complete your 24-week live-in recruit course at the AFP College in Canberra, you will become a constable of police and be deployed to one of five police stations to undertake general duties.

At ACT Policing we value the different perspectives, approaches and lived experiences of our people, and recognise that our collective intelligence and diversity is what makes us stronger. As such, we encourage applications from people from all walks of life, including culturally and linguistically diverse, First Nations people and women.

When submitting an application, please ensure you select ACT Policing as your first preference on the application form.

You can reach out to AFPRecruitment@afp.gov.au if you have any questions or require assistance submitting your application.
