Welcome to our School

The School of Policing Studies (SOPS) is a leading provider of police recruit level training in Australia.

We are no longer accepting new student intakes; we remain committed to supporting our current cohort through to the completion of their studies in 2027.

Our program continues to be informed by consultation with law enforcement professionals, the justice community, and academic experts, ensuring they remain vocationally relevant and responsive to the evolving needs of policing. Many of our teaching staff are former police officers or specialists in policing-related disciplines such as communications and ethics, maintaining our strong practical teaching focus.
