Police Commands and Districts across NSW will be boosted with the addition of 192 police recruits after they were sworn in as probationary constables in Goulburn today.
\nThe Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott joined NSW Police Force Commissioner Mick Fuller APM to welcome the newest recruits to the Force at a private Attestation ceremony.
\nMr Elliott congratulated the attesting recruits who provide a timely boost to the Force as the State continues to face the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic.
\n\u201cThe recruits of Class 343 have already demonstrated personal determination and resilience in attesting during COVID-19,\u201d Mr Elliott said.
\n\u201cThey join the NSW Police Force at a significant time and have shown they have what it takes to serve the community with distinction.
\n\u201cDuring the floods, fires and now the COVID-19 pandemic, frontline police officers have taken on an unprecedented role in protecting the community.\u201d
\nLast year, the NSW Government announced it was investing $583 million to introduce 1500 extra police over four years to enhance community safety across NSW.
\nNSW Police Force Commissioner Mick Fuller APM said the newest recruits will face unforeseeable challenges in their policing careers.
\n“The 130 men and 62 women of Class 343 will provide a fresh injection into our policing resources,\u201d Commissioner Fuller said.
\n\u201cThey have undergone extensive training and will now be supported as they step up to face new and emerging challenges as police officers serving communities across the state.\u201d
\nAfter completing eight months of training, the new probationary constables will start at Police Area Commands and Police Districts across the state from next Monday 12 October 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
