We would like to give a hearty CONGRATULATIONS to our young fellow Tongan youth Ross Beauchamp on graduating from SAPOL - we are truly PROUD of this achievement. We give acknowledgements to his beautiful mother and a matriarch of our Tongan community in Adelaide Rachel Norton.
We wish you all the best in this new journey ahead
Ofa atu ❤️🇹🇴🙏🏾
It is graduation day for 12 new Police Security Officers! 🎉🎉
Ranging in age from 19 to 39, the new PSOs have journeyed from different walks of life, and some offer diverse cultural backgrounds including Chinese, Tongan, European, Welsh and Cambodian.
Prior to joining SAPOL, Leeanne spent the past 20 years working in the health and fitness industry and previously owned a remedial massage and personal training business.
Leeanne first applied to SAPOL when she was 19 before falling pregnant, but reapplied and progressed as a PSO. She has aspirations to move up through the ranks to Sergeant.
Fellow graduate Ross was attracted to SAPOL’s job security and brings unique experience to the role, previously working as an aircraft support officer at REX.
He hopes that his experience as a PSO will soon lend itself hopes to eventually become a police officer.
PSOs work as part of a team to carry out static and mobile security duties, along with 24-hour alarm monitoring and CCTV surveillance. Expansions to the role include working within cells, conveyancing and proactive ‘Nomad’ patrols during the Fire Danger Season.
