Promotional Pathway
When you start at the Academy you’ll be a Trainee Constable.
Tasmania Police has a strong relationship with the University of Tasmania (UTAS) and all of our study and promotion opportunities (from Trainee Constable to Inspector) form part of either an under-graduate or post-graduate UTAS study program. We also recognise relevant prior education.
For people interested in the promotion process within Tasmania Police there are many opportunities available. All of our promotion processes are merit based and police officers who have completed the necessary course/s of study are free to apply.
