Dismiss By Jim Pilmer Normal text size Advertisement Recently I attended a graduation ceremony at the Victoria Police Academy. It was interesting to cast an eye over the list of previous occupations of the 22 men and women who passed out of the Academy that day. Mechanical fitter, chemical transfer safety specialist, systems engineer and child and family case manager were among the former occupations listed in the graduation booklet. The average age was around 30. A matter of trust: Graduating recruits at the Victoria Police Academy chapel.
