“It’s a really friendly and supportive atmosphere and the trainers have been so helpful.
It’s such a dynamic role. You still get to be involved in the front-end of policing, working as a team but in a different environment.”
Will, Constable Resource Controller
Custody
We have more than 100 detention officers who assist custody sergeants in processing people who have been arrested and detained in custody. Detention officers also have responsibilities relating to the care and welfare of detainees.
