Five of the new probationary constables will be based at Auburn Local Area Command and six at Cumberland.
Minister for Police and Counter Terrorism, Yasmin Catley, joined NSW Police Commissioner, Karen Webb in welcoming the new recruits, who will be deployed to police stations across the state from next week where they will complete their first year of on-the-job training.
Minister Catley welcomed the new probationary constables to the NSW Police Force and thanked them for the important work they will be doing protecting and serving the public.
“Congratulations on being sworn in as the newest members of our Police family; the enthusiasm, drive and commitment you will bring will be a great asset for many years to come,” Ms Catley said.
“There’s no escaping the reality that policing can be challenging – it is a role like no other and you are entrusted with great powers and responsibilities, but with the right support to guide you I look forward to seeing you all develop and thrive.
“To be a NSW Police officer takes great courage, resilience and compassion, but is also an important and satisfying job and I urge anyone considering it as a career to come forward and put yourself to the test.”
