In January 1994 the Queensland Police Service (QPS) commenced a revised recruit training program, known as 'P.R.O.V.E.'. The 61 recruits in the initial intake of this program were surveyed by the Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) prior to the commencement of their training. The results of the survey were published in Summary Report #3.
This briefing note summarises the key findings of a second survey of the recruits administered in July 1994 at the end of their Academy training. The questionnaire was designed to examine the recruits' views on, and satisfaction with, the new training program.
Fifty-six recruits (92%) responded to the questionnaire. Of those who responded, 27 per cent were female and 73 per cent were male. Ninety-eight per cent reported having some exposure to post-secondary education.
