Two new police recruits to start in Narrabri command

Two new police officers will join the Narrabri command and have been welcomed to Oxley Police District by Superintendent Kylie Endemi.

Supt Endemi announced the new recruits in Tamworth on Monday afternoon.

In addition to two officers for Narrabri, four will be based in Tamworth and one in Gunnedah, seeing Oxley Police District welcome seven new officers in total.

More than 150 new probationary constables, including 50 women will be deployed to police stations across the state following last week’s attestation ceremony in Goulburn.

The newest recruits of Class 354 have completed their eight months of training and studies and will commence their year of on-the-job training as Probationary Constables from this week.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Police Paul Toole said a career in policing was ideal for anyone looking to make a difference in their community.

“For these Probationary Constables, Monday will mark day one of a challenging and rewarding career keeping our communities safe,” Mr Toole said.

“They will join almost 18,000 other men and women in blue working as part of a world-class modern police force to drive down crime rates and protect the community.

“NSW Police is actively recruiting as part of its ‘You should be a cop’ campaign, and I encourage anyone looking for new opportunities to give it a go.”
