ELIJAH NIEHUS
I am a motivated 21 year old male from Ballarat who prides himself on presentation and attention to detail. If granted this opportunity to become a police officer, I aim to expand my career beyond more than just a police officer. I intend to grow professionally and work through the ranks with the hope of one day being a part of the Victoria police airwing.
I am a passionate car enthusiast who loves anything with engines. Growing up on a hobby farm just outside of Ballarat, has given me fantastic insight into being able to problem solve and critically think when required. During my spare time, I dedicate a large amount of time to the Napoleons-Enfield CFA where I have been given the opportunity to complete many different challenges, including gaining my BA.
