Explore Safety and Careers in Toowoomba

Toowoomba is set to host the eagerly anticipated Community Safety and Career Expo this weekend, promising a range of activities and displays aimed at enhancing community engagement and showcasing policing careers. The free event, organized by the Queensland Police Service (QPS), will be held at Toowoomba TAFE Oval from 9 am to midday on Saturday, April 18.

The expo, returning due to popular demand from previous years, offers the public a chance to interact with various law enforcement and emergency services units. Attendees will have access to interactive displays from specialist police units including the Tactical Crime Squad and Mounted Unit, and can explore cutting-edge police equipment and vehicles. The event also features seminars focusing on personal safety and detailed insights into a career in policing.

According to Darling Downs District City Patrol Group Inspector Jerome Winslade, the expo is not only a platform to learn about safety but also an opportunity for individuals interested in law enforcement careers to gain firsthand information from current recruits and officers. “Policing is a chance to make a daily impact, offering a rewarding career to those committed to serving the community,” Winslade stated.

The event promises to be a comprehensive showcase with contributions from the Queensland Ambulance Service, State Emergency Service (SES), and more, ensuring a holistic view of public safety and emergency services careers.
