Results A total of 1316 WA Police Force recruits were included, of whom 264 recruits sustained 304 injuries. The association between age, sex, and injury occurrence were assessed using Cox regression time-to-event analysis. For each region and type of injury, the incidence, severity, and burden were calculated. Injury was defined as ‘time-loss’ and injury incidence rate per 1000 training days (Poisson exact 95% confidence intervals) was calculated.

Methods Retrospective analyses were conducted of prospectively collected injury data from WA Police Force recruits between 2018–2021. We aimed to report the injury epidemiology of Western Australian (WA) Police Force recruits and examine sex and age as injury risk factors. Purpose A lack of published epidemiological data among police recruits presents a major challenge when designing appropriate prevention programs to reduce injury burden.
