DAVIES WELCOMES NEW POLICE RECRUITS

Two new probationary constables have commenced duties in Nepean Police Area Command after new officers attested at a formal ceremony at the Goulburn Police Academy on Friday, 16 August.

Class 363 comprised of 110 new probationary constables including 80 men and 30 women.

Tanya Davies MP, Member for Badgerys Creek welcomed the two new police officers to the Badgerys Creek Electorate.

“I thank our two new officers and their colleagues for their service to our community,” Mrs Davies said.

“Their commitment to fostering a safe and thriving environment is invaluable, and we want each and every officer to know that their efforts are deeply appreciated.”

Shadow Minister for Police Paul Toole shared his welcome to the enthusiastic new recruits who come from diverse backgrounds and professional experience.

“I am proud to welcome the new recruits into the NSW Police Force, who have taken up the incredibly challenging but rewarding responsibility of serving and protecting the people of NSW,” Mr Toole said.

“These probationary constables are helping strengthen the ranks of our modern and world-class Police Force.”

“Policing is like no other profession; it is a selfless career where officers run towards danger to protect us and the wider community rather than the natural instinct to run in the opposite direction.”

The recruits have completed eight months of foundational training and those allocated to commands within the Badgerys Creek Electorate reported to their stations on Monday 19 August 2024 to complete 12 months’ on-the-job training and study by distance education with Charles Sturt University.
