DRESS AND GROOMING REQUIREMENTS
As a policing student attending the Police Academy, there are particular requirements about what you can and can not wear, hair standards and grooming. These requirements are similar for police officers and contribute to transitioning to the requirements of the NSW Police Force as a sworn officer. Follow the link for more information.

In the case of social media, as a policing applicant you should access and read the NSW Police Force Personal Use of Social Media Policy and Guidelines. As a policing applicant, similar compliance is expected from policing students in the ADPP - policing student requirements will be explained to students during their orientation at the commencement of each intake.
