Law Enforcement & Policing Writers & Career Coaches

For more than 30 years, Government Resumes has been the leading provider of professionally written résumés, cover letters, selection criteria responses and capability statements for job seekers pursuing careers in law enforcement, policing, investigations, intelligence, corrections and regulatory services across Australia. Our expert writers have assisted thousands of candidates in securing interviews and job offers across state and territory police agencies, federal law enforcement bodies, investigative authorities, regulatory organisations and justice sector employers. With a long-standing interview success rate of 98.5 per cent, our team is recognised nationwide for excellence, precision and proven results.

The law enforcement and policing sector is highly competitive and governed by stringent recruitment standards. Roles within policing, investigations, regulatory compliance, justice administration, national security and public safety require meticulously prepared documentation that clearly demonstrates integrity, resilience, problem solving capability, operational readiness, situational awareness and a strong commitment to community service. Our experienced writers understand these expectations and create tailored documents that align precisely with agency frameworks, competency models and behavioural markers.

Government Resumes maintains a detailed and current understanding of the recruitment requirements of state police forces, federal law enforcement agencies, protective service organisations, intelligence agencies, corrective services, regulatory bodies and associated justice sector employers. This includes knowledge of police entrance requirements, psychological assessment processes, background checking, integrity screening, capability frameworks, STAR based competency demonstrations, operational fitness standards and behavioural assessment methodologies. Our ongoing research and hands-on experience allow us to create documentation that aligns with the expectations of both entry level and experienced candidates seeking law enforcement careers.

Our writing specialists prepare a comprehensive suite of documents for applicants targeting policing and law enforcement roles including tailored résumés, persuasive cover letters, statements addressing selection criteria, behavioural capability statements, investigator CVs, intelligence and compliance résumés, senior leadership documents and LinkedIn profiles optimised for government and public safety careers. Each document is written from scratch and is fully customised to the agency you are applying to, whether you are pursuing a frontline policing role, a specialist investigative position or a senior leadership appointment.

Government Resumes has a proven track record of supporting clients applying to all Australian state and territory police forces including New South Wales Police, Victoria Police, Queensland Police, Western Australia Police Force, South Australia Police, Tasmania Police, Northern Territory Police and the Australian Capital Territory Policing environment. We have also assisted applicants for federal agencies such as the Australian Federal Police, Australian Border Force, AUSTRAC, ASIC, ASIO, the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission, the Department of Home Affairs, state and federal Corrective Services environments and other national security, regulation and compliance bodies. Our success in these sectors demonstrates our deep understanding of the capabilities required for roles in intelligence, investigations, compliance, enforcement, leadership and specialist policing streams.

Applicants often seek our support because policing and law enforcement roles require a level of precision that many job seekers find challenging to achieve. Agencies expect evidence based examples demonstrating decision making in high pressure environments, conflict resolution skills, operational awareness, teamwork under strain, legal compliance knowledge, ethical conduct, community interaction skills and the ability to follow procedures with accuracy. Our writers are highly skilled in extracting, structuring and articulating examples that demonstrate these capabilities clearly and convincingly using STAR, SAO and behavioural frameworks.

Many applicants come from diverse career backgrounds including military service, security operations, emergency services, corrections, regulatory compliance, private investigations, customer service, trades, education, healthcare, hospitality and corporate environments. We specialise in highlighting transferable skills such as situational awareness, teamwork, conflict management, leadership, resilience, communication, problem solving, public interaction, cultural competence, decision making under pressure and community service commitment. This allows candidates from all career levels to present themselves as strong, well rounded and suitable for law enforcement roles.

Government Resumes supports job seekers across a wide variety of policing, regulatory and investigative roles including:

Our expert writers ensure that your documents meet these expectations and reflect a clear alignment with agency values and behavioural frameworks.

We also assist applicants pursuing promotional opportunities within police forces and law enforcement bodies. Promotion applications often require detailed leadership examples, operational case studies, strategic reasoning, stakeholder management skills and clear demonstration of advanced policing competencies. Our writers understand how to present your experience in a structured, persuasive and agency aligned format that strengthens your competitiveness.
