ACT Policing—recruitment
(Question No 1374)

Mr Coe asked the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, upon notice, on 11 May 2018:

In relation to all new ACT Policing sworn officer recruits in 2016-17 (a) in which Australian Federal Police salary bands did these recruits enter and (b) how many entered in each band.

Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(a) ACT Policing had 18 new police recruits commence in the 2016-17 financial year. New police recruits typically enter sworn roles at an AFP Band 2.4 level.

(b) Due to their contemporary and transferrable organisational experience and knowledge, new police recruits previously employed as an AFP Protective Service Officer or as a professional employee qualify for salary maintenance conditions. Salary maintenance results in an initial higher band level pay point. The pay point is then frozen until the employee’s substantive classification reaches that salary.

(c) Of the 18 new police recruits in 2016-17, 12 were existing AFP employees who were previously unsworn/professional.
