Exporting our police? Australia wants gardai to move down under to work there instead of Ireland




At a recruiting event in Dublin, South Australian police are trying to persuade An Garda Síochána personnel to immigrate to Australia in order to work for South Australia Police, reports RTE.

The police are trying to hire 200 cops from Ireland and the UK.

‘Down Under Live’ is happening this afternoon in Temple Bar, reports RTE.

The “overwhelming response” to the campaign from gardaí and other UK police officers, according to South Australia Police Chief Inspector Scott Collins, has been observed thus far.

Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, he stated that they thought gardaí had highly transferable abilities and that, after completing a transition course, they would fit right in with the force in South Australia, reports RTE.
