SIX new probationary constables will soon commence duties across the Mid North Coast following their attestation at a formal ceremony at the Goulburn Police Academy on Friday, 22 August.
Of the six new officers heading to the region, two will be stationed at Kempsey, one at Macksville, and three at Port Macquarie.
All have come through the Be a Cop in Your Hometown program, which enables locals to join the NSW Police Force while staying connected with family, lifestyle, and community.
Member for Oxley Michael Kemp welcomed the new recruits at Kempsey Police Station.
“Having officers who can serve their communities while staying close to their families and support networks means they are more invested, more connected, and able to make a difference where it really counts,” said Mr Kemp.
Class 366 is made up of 221 men and 93 women, aged between 19 and 59.
The cohort also includes 18 First Nations officers and recruits born in 18 different countries.
The recruits have completed eight months of foundational training and will now undertake 12 months of on-the-job training and study by distance education at their respective stations.
