Acting Assistant Commissioner Northern Region Command Eloise Hamlett congratulated the graduates who will be posted to the Lotus Glen Correctional Centre which has high and low security facilities.
The new officers were ready to take on the many challenges of working in a correctional centre after completing the 10-week Custodial Officer Entry Program.
The ceremony also recognised long-standing officers with the QCS Long Service and Good Conduct Medal for 20 years’ service and the Commissioner’s Medal for retiring officers.
