Victoria Police Academy: Daniel's Story

This series focuses on the training, culture, and experience of recruits at the Victoria Police Academy. This is Dan’s story. After years working in hospitality, Daniel was looking for a career that had more meaning, “I first joined to have a job that has more impact in people’s lives, just the aspect of helping the community and helping people that are in need at the time.” After the initial adjustments to Academy life, Daniel found the process incredibly rewarding, “Walking through the gates on Day One was daunting, but fast forward to now, 31 weeks later, it's been the best experience.” Now that Daniel has graduated, he’s excited about the career opportunities ahead of him, “When I first walked through the gate, I was set on becoming a detective and that's really changed while I've been here. So getting into one of the specialist units, it’s really opened up my eyes to one of those options instead.” Learn more about the Victoria Police Academy and Police Foundation Training Program: https://policecareers.info/4d6wmCC Explore an exciting career with more purpose and more possibilities: https://policecareers.info/3A9jmgS
