The Minns Labor Government will today welcome 349 new probationary constables into the NSW Police Force, with Class 368 attesting at the Goulburn Police Academy.
The record-breaking class is the largest to join the NSW Police Force in more than 13 years, highlighting the Government’s commitment to rebuilding and boosting frontline resources across the state.
Today’s ceremony recognises that our newest officers have officially completed their eight months of training through the Constable Education Program and will now begin 12 months of on-the-job training as probationary constables.
Class 368 will be deployed to Police Area Commands and Police Districts across NSW, including:
- Central Metropolitan Region – 89
- South West Metropolitan Region – 72
- North West Metropolitan Region – 66
- Northern Region – 62
- Southern Region – 31
- Western Region – 29
The class includes 90 women, 20 First Nations recruits, and officers born in 20 different countries, reflecting the communities they will now serve.
This attestation builds on the previous record-breaking Class 366, which saw 314 recruits sworn in last August, then the largest class in more than a decade.
