British Bobbies are poached by the Australian police in a recruitment campaign that shows the tropical climate and white sandy beaches of the country.
The police of South Australia are organizing a series of events in the United Kingdom while looking at new recruits.
The Aussie Force even called in his commissioner to record a Jokey video that sees him sell the benefits of the job.
During the short film, Commissioner Grant Stevens outlines the reasons why people may want to work for the Force.
As the video progresses a background screen – with a team park that is parked on a beach at sunset – it is possible to reveal that the images are actually recorded on an equally picturesque location by the sea in a blasting sunshine, whereby the commissioner even wears shorts while standing in the crystal -clear water.
In the clip, Commissioner Stevens, who wants to attract 200 experienced officers from abroad,: “We have many competitive benefits, including a large salary, and we will pay for the costs of a permanent visa for you and your family.”
The video starts with commissioner Stevens in what looks like a sunset scene on a beach
Officers who change crime in Great Britain for the Zon van Oz, are told that they will enjoy competing benefits according to the campaign, including 'a great salary'.
But it is unlikely that the recruitment drive will be welcomed by British troops who want to retain their experienced staff.
As the campaign video progresses, it appears that it stands in front of a screen and that is actually knee-deep in the sea in shorts in the middle of blazing sunshine
Officers who go down can enjoy the beaches around Adelaide
A delegation of Sapol officers will travel to London, Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow in April and May of this year to organize information sessions and meet interested police officers face-to-face.
Chief Ink Scott Collins, a former police officer of Thames Valley, leads the international recruitment drive.
He said: 'After I made the step myself, I can personally testify to the incredible opportunities and lifestyle that South -Australia offers.
“I lead a team that travels through the United Kingdom in April and May to meet English, Welsh and Scottish police officers and deliver information sessions.”
Part of the marketing campaign has recorded a video recorded by one of the officers of the Aussie Force who documented what she does on her days off.
The images showed her surfing off the coast of a sun's beach, meeting friends for lunch and then preparing to start a service at work.
David Threadgold, chairman of the Scottish Police Federation, who represents ranking and file officials, said: 'It is a pretty smart marketing strategy.
The slick marketing campaign is the sunny Australian weather, which is in stark contrast to the more bad weather that is often endured by officers in Britain
Another video used to attract recruits from the UK showed what an officer does on her days off
The images showed her surfing off the coast of a sun's beach, meeting friends for lunch and then preparing to start a service at work.
“However, I dare to say that the reality of the police will not be so different from what it is in Scotland. You can have all the job satisfaction that you would like to work here.
“The broader question for police Scotland is what it will do to keep officers and replace those who go.”
The Aussie Force has already been successful in the poaching of talented staff from Scotland.
A new recruit, named Emma, ​​would have 'police experience in Scotland' for 14 years before moving to OZ.
Another new recruit – Darren – filmed a video for his new employers with his wife Laura and revealed that he had been recruited last year during an event at the National Stadium of Scotland – Hampden, in Glasgow.
The former police of the Scotland police, who revealed that it had only taken 10 months to make the move, said: “When there was a chance to do the work I love here – in the place where I wanted to stay – then it was a no brainer.”
His wife Laura added: 'It has been very simple. Even the school system has been super easy to contact us and everyone has been so pleasant to deal with. It made it very easy for us. '
In January the Aussie Force led about the security of 34 new recruits' from Interstate and Overzee, including two Scots.
In a message it shared a photo of the two Scottish, which said: 'Robert and Aimee are two recruits that were sworn in this week.
“Robert arrived in South Australia on New Year's Day with his wife and two young children from Scotland.”
It added: “Aimee, also from Scotland, made the decision to move to South -Australia after a conversation with the recruitment team in her home country.”
Aimee, whose last name was not given, added: 'When I spoke with the officers during the recruitment event, I heard their stories about the job and daily life.
“The balance of working life really appealed to me, because I felt that this was something I really missed in my previous role.”
The Aussie Force wants to recruit officers from the UK with at least three years of experience.
It even offers to cover the costs of a permanent visa for recruits and their families, as well as the mention of that adopted leave of six weeks.
Successful applicants start with a salary of approximately £ 38,845 ($ 80,190) during their probationary period, which can only take six months.
Then they are paid at a level that recognizes their 'earlier service and learning'.

For example, the salary for an agent varies from £ 40,150 to £ 47,780. A senior agent earns between £ 47,990 and £ 54.784 or up to 56.140 for senior constable (first class).
Senior sergants earn to £ 69,800, while the salary of an inspector rose to £ 82,882 and £ 90,180 for a chief inspector.
A superintendent salary goes up to £ 98,400, while it is £ 102,137 for a chief inspector and £ 105,545 for a commander.
A spokesperson for the Scotland of the police said: 'Police is a ruthless, but enormously rewarding calling, and I am the ones who are grateful to offer this crucial service to the people and places of Scotland.
'As a single national organization, our urban, remote, national and island communities are checked by dedicated officers who are committed to the best possible service supported by their local knowledge.
They do this knowing that they are supported by the power of national services with specialized resources that are available throughout the country.
'All our officers and employees work incredibly hard to keep police work effectively.
“Like all sectors, people leave police work for all kinds of reasons, but retention levels within the Scotland police remain very high compared to other organizations.”
