Undoubtedly today, the highlight of our program is the imminent induction into the Queensland Police Service of the recruits on parade today. I know that many of you have covered long distances to be here for this very special day. Before a police recruit begins to perform their duties as a constable of police, there is a formal process to be applied in accordance with the Police Service Administration Regulation. This practice requires the individual recruit to pledge their loyalty to our sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II. The member then signs the oath or affirmation of office in the presence of a commissioned police officer. This segment, referred to as an induction, is a transition from the learning environment to being a sworn officer in the Queensland Police Service. As part of the process, each member is presented with a wallet containing their identity card and official police badge. Today, the swearing in tables will be used for the first time and will become an integral part of future graduation parades. Table officers, please fall in. Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the administration of the oath and affirmation of office. By reciting oath or affirmation of office in unison with the recruits on parade, prefaced by the word I, states your given names and surname in four, you are to repeat your oath or affirmation of office after me. I swear by Almighty God that I will well and truly serve my sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II, the heirs and successors. According to law in the office of Constable, all are in such capacity as I may be appointed, promoted or reduced with our favour, affection, malice or ill will from this state until I am discharged. That I will cause her majesty's peace to be kept and preserved. That I will prevent to the best of my power all offences against the same. And that, while I am a member of the Queensland Police Service, I will to the best of my skill and knowledge discharge all duties legally imposed upon me. Faithfully and according to law, so help me God. Thank you, Mr Barnett. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you. Please be seated. Table officers, please be seated.

It is a great pride and pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to the family and friends of our graduated officers as they are appointed first year Constables during the ceremony today. Over the last six months these recruits have undertaken an extensive course designed to introduce them to various aspects of operations policing in Queensland. These Constables have been inspired with high ideals and encouraged to achieve their very best in this Honourful Career. Their sense of duty, loyalty and service to all Queenslanders has been enhanced and strengthened during the course. As Queenslanders newest Constables you are well prepared for the challenges that might heavy your career as a police officer. From experience I know the job is commanded not only on the serving member but the family and friends. Family and friends thank you for supporting these recruits over the last six months and I ask you to continue to do this during their careers as they serve the locations across this great state. There aren't many expectations placed on the officer Constable and my expectation is that all of our people work together every day to support each other to stop crying make the community safer and build strong relationships. Delivering on these important objectives requires people of the highest caliber and commitment with the unique combination of qualities such as those people we see before you today. As our newest Constables you should remember that you are now the public face of the Queensland Police Service and we expect all of our people to have the courage, fairness and firm. You should always have the courage to honour your oath of office and the state and the benefits of your behalf by Constable Wayne Walden who was the City of the Commissioners Award. You should display fairness and be professional at all times acting objectively and without bias remembering that every member of the public is to be treated with dignity and respect. Every interaction is an opportunity to build relations and achieve a positive outcome. You should take pride and place a high value on teamwork people, our performance and our partnership with the community. Polices can be a gauge of struggle. You need to accept that there is always an element of risk in police work. You will need to remain vigilant to minimise that risk avoid complacency stay alert and be aware. You will see the good and bad sides of thinking. You will encounter some of the worst kinds of human behaviour but I ask you to remain positive. Stay focused and ensure your actions are always just and fair. At various points in your career you will all be physically morally and intellectually challenged. Have no doubt that if you are not up to that challenge you will not be graduating today. I am extremely confident that the future of policing is in good hands with the Constables that are here in front of us today. Constables, you are entitled to feel very proud of your achievement as today marks the end of your training and the beginning of so much more. Every police officer retired and serving who is here today remembers their swear and engraved life it was yesterday that cherished this name. Let me conclude today by sincerely congratulating you all on your graduation. You follow in the footsteps of great officers who have set standards to courage, fairness and pride. I have no doubt you will add to this rich history. Be confident that you are well prepared for your future. Enjoy the challenges and opportunities in having one of the best careers in the world. Well done you all. Congratulations. Thank you Deputy Commissioner. Our principal official guest the Honourable Mr Jack Dempsey and Pair First of all I'd like to acknowledge Deputy Commissioner Ross Barnett Consul of Japan and Detective Inspector of the Japanese Police Mr Yoshiro Tashima Deputy Commissioners Brett Pointing Peter Barron Acting Deputy Commissioner Bob G CEO of the Public Safety Business Agency Calvin Anderson Deputy Commissioner Mark Roche Representative of the Australian Defence Force Commissioned Officers Yes other police officers are the ladies and gentlemen that are here not just as families and friends but that are here just to support these officers on their journey ahead. Particularly the family and friends are most importantly the 93 the new police officers that we have here in Queensland. I'd also like to acknowledge Peter Flexman in the pipes and drums representatives from the Queensland Police Union the Commissioned Officers Union the Police Traffic Union the Retired Police Association public members who come here on every occasion to witness this great spectacle and the families and friends that they've come. The young children the young and future generations that we see up here from the Stanclaw State High School why I want to mention everyone everybody is here because they trust you and they believe in you the 93 new police officers that are going to obviously go out and pound the beat right across this great state of Queensland. You see here today on the sacred acre and I have a privilege of being sworn in on this acre many of the years ago and it's great to see these traditions back. You see the 150th year banner celebrating the past police officers and the amazing effort that they have contributed not just the police service but to the community and society that we have here in Queensland. You see the colour flag party here wearing them alone and bringing that tradition back into the Queensland Police Service. These traditions obviously come with a great deal of sacrifice and a great deal of determination so in advance I'd like to thank the families and friends so I'd like to thank the police chaplains and I suggest that you use them from time to time for your confidence because these are the your rock and as the Deputy Commissioner just said you will see the best of the best but you'll see the worst of the worst and to get through that we'll need the support of family and friends but you also need all that expertise that you got from the great instructors that we have here and the teamwork which you will work together in your future years in the Queensland Police Service. While I'm talking about sign symbols and traditions I particularly want to acknowledge again and thank the Principal Peter Grant Deputy Commissioner Joe Marcus that we have here and the students of the Stanthorff Stokesville students from Stanthorff and Tentafield and out as far as Texas who actually built these tables that we have before us for the next 150 years of police officers to sign. Now it is great, six months of work put into that and they're great skills but particularly as I spoke to them earlier in the day about the privilege of officers coming here and when they swear that out to serve the people of Queensland without failure, affection, malice it is a swearing in that comes with a great deal of responsibility and that responsibility is on your fine shoulders, because when you leave the parade ground today comes with you the same authority as the Commissioner of Police to take the rights and liberties away from other Queenslanders and there certainly is a great deal of professionalism, ethics and standards that go with that job. I know that most of these words that I say here today and I look particularly at the book that I have here before us and it's very symbolic of what we have here in Queensland people coming from all areas all different careers nationalities different cultures but when we are here today you are here together one as part of the Queensland Police Family so I say thank you to you thank you to your families and I wish you all the best in the future and please through hard work comes great opportunities but I say please stay safe and look after each other just that in conclusion I've never seen a group of recruits sigh with a sense of relief more so than I've seen here today and that relief just goes to show the excitement that you have for the future years ahead I've never seen a recruit sign it to sign the oath so quick as well so that certainly was a great pleasure and as the Deputy Commissioner alluded to you will remember this but also your families will remember this as one of the most important days of your life and I certainly thank them and thank you for your courage determination obviously perfectionism as you go forward all the best and thank you very much Thank you Mr Dentsy the parade will now retire and re-form in preparation to complete the final segment of the ceremony in the final manoeuvre of the ceremony the parade will advance in review order this movement involves the Constables marching forward in line including with a general salute this is performed with no offensive spirit and is given as a mark of respect to the principal official guests and members of the senior leadership team the parade commander Inspector Darren Karnes and the commander of the parade will now call for the parade sergeant and hand over command Ladies and gentlemen the band party accompanied by the Queensland police cops and drums will now march off parade to TPS 150 Ladies and gentlemen will you please stand and please be seated the Constables started as a recruit intake in December of 2013 and were trained in four individual groups they are now formed a united intake in preparation to serve the community of Queensland the parade sergeant will now call for a member of the graduating intake to assume command of the new Constable this final gesture recognises the individual will display leadership throughout the training program Ladies and gentlemen Mara presents you the new Constables of the Queensland Police Service before the Constables are dismissed Mara thank you once again for being here with us this afternoon at the conclusion of the parade please feel free to move on to the parade ground and congratulate the men and women who will now join their colleagues serving the people of Queensland the parade hosts will then invite you for later refreshments to be served in the academy dining room on behalf of the members of the Queensland Police Service Senior Executive Mara thank you for your attendance I wish you a very good evening and a safe journey home the Honour of Mr Dempsey has asked the two officers who are being posted to Harvey Bay Station please come up up to the parade and introduce yourself to them Custle Pierce-Londel will now lead the new members in thanking you in their own special way the event dismissed the parade
