An Australian police force is targeting officers from the UK as part of an international recruitment drive, leading to fears some will leave Police Scotland.
A police force in Australia has launched a drive to recruit officers from across the UK and Ireland.
Those who apply can go on a pathway towards Australian citizenship, which can be otherwise difficult to acquire due to its immigration system. One Scottish Police Federation representative told the justice affairs magazine, 1919, that Scottish officers have previously been lured away by Australian forces."Some returned but many made a really good life for themselves. This is another drain on our experience."
"Keith Brown cannot continue to ignore these warnings that Scottish police officers are currently finding alternative offers more attractive and urgently reverse his plans to cut police funding even more."He said:"Police officers play a vital and valued role and we have recognised that by ensuring they are the best paid in the UK.
