Northern Territory Police

The Northern Territory Police is a modern, professional organisation, dedicated to protecting the community through intelligence-led policing and community partnerships. As an employee of the NT Police, you can experience professional challenges, lifestyles, people and locations that can not be found anywhere else.

Due to the Territory's vastness, members are required to display leadership, initiative and resourcefulness to respond to incidents effectively. Being a multicultural society with a large Indigenous community, you will rely on good communication skills as you meet and work with people from all walks of life.

The NT Police is well equipped and provides many specialist opportunities for its members. From Tactical Response Command, marine and fisheries, community policing, computer crime and general duties, the NT Police offers long-term and diverse career options.

The work is challenging – however the rewards and personal satisfaction you receive make a career with the Northern Territory Police well worth the effort.

The Territory lifestyle

The Territory lifestyle is second to none, and as a member of the police force you have the opportunity to experience it all. From the tropical lifestyle of Darwin to the remote coastal communities, to life in the Red Centre, the Territory offers outdoor living at its best. Combine all this with the relaxed, friendly locals, great community infrastructure and family-friendly environment, and you will find that the Territory lifestyle has something for everyone.

Career Options

Each profession also presents employees with a variety of opportunities and challenges.
