Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh has welcomed today’s news five new police recruits are joining Coffs Clarence Police District.
Mr Singh said they’re among more than 220 new probationary constables who have joined record numbers of police to help keep communities across NSW safe.
“On behalf of our community, I’m pleased to be able to welcome our newest police officers,” Mr Singh said.
“They will bolster the ranks of our local police who perform vital and at times dangerous duties day and night to tackle crime and protect the people of the Coffs Coast.”
The NSW Police Force welcomed a total of 226 police recruits after they were sworn in as probationary constables at today’s ceremony in Goulburn.
“Congratulations to the men and women of class 349, who graduate today and will join the NSW Police Force at its strongest and most efficient,” said Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott.
“After eight months of world-class training, the attesting officers will join their stations on Monday and invigorate the policing capabilities of this state.
“The NSW Government has committed to invest $583 million to introduce 1500 extra police over four years to enhance community safety across NSW and is investing $60 million over four years to upgrade the Police Academy at Goulburn.”
The recruits have completed eight months of foundational training and those allocated to Coffs Clarence Police District will report to their station from Monday 11 October 2021.
