Our People

Overview

The Department of Police and Emergency Management (DPEM) consists of Tasmania Police, the State Emergency Service (SES) and Forensic Science Service Tasmania (FSST). In March 2006, after the State election, the Department administratively incorporated the Tasmania Fire Service (TFS) and was renamed the Department of Police and Emergency Management.

The Department employs around 1,252 police officers and 484 State Service and State Emergency Service personnel. It utilises the services of around 590 emergency service volunteers statewide (these figures are exclusive of the TFS).
