The NSW Police Force has welcomed 194 new police officers in the first graduation ceremony of 2021.
\nMinister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott joined NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller APM at an attestation ceremony at the NSW Police Academy in Goulburn today.
\nMr Elliott congratulated the incoming officers and welcomed the return to a full ceremony after last year\u2019s events were disrupted by COVID-19 restrictions.
\n\u201cOver the course of last year, we have seen first-hand the crucial role our police officers play in protecting the community and we owe them a debt of gratitude for their efforts,\u201d Mr Elliott said.
\n\u201cI am pleased to personally welcome the latest recruits in Goulburn and offer my assurance that they have the full support of the NSW Government as they commence their law enforcement careers today. Their commitment and dedication to serve and protect the community will not go unnoticed.\u201d
\n\u201cThese officers will join a NSW Police Force that has been strengthened by investment from the NSW Government, including the delivery of 1500 additional officers over four years and the commitment to a $60 million upgrade to Goulburn Police Academy.\u201d
\nNSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller APM said the latest intake of probationary constables will hit the ground running.
\n\u201cI welcome Class 345, and their families and friends who have been able to join us here today,\u201d Commissioner Fuller said.
\n\u201cI know from experience that this is a very significant moment in every officer\u2019s career. As our newest police officers start at their new commands on Monday, they can be assured that this is the start of a memorable and rewarding career in law enforcement.\u201d
\nClass 345 includes 139 men and 55 women. Some recruits entered the NSW Police Academy straight from school or university, while others left established professional careers and trades such as teachers, ambulance officers and a jockey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
