Seven new probationary constables will be joining the ranks of the Tweed Byron Police District on Monday, part of the largest class to attest the Goulburn Police Academy in 11 years.
“On behalf of the community, I welcome our newest police officers to the Tweed,” Mr Provest said.
Class 365 comprised 302 new probationary constables including 221 men and 81 women.
The probationary constables have completed eight months in the Constable Education Program – four months of distance education and four months of rigorous, hands-on-training at the Academy.
The recruits will now commence 12 months of on-the-job training.
“A career in policing is like no other, it takes a special person, dedication and commitment,” Mr Provest 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.
