New police for Far South
AN additional 437 probationary constables graduated from the Goulburn Police Academy and began service as police officers this week, and three of them are allocated to the Far South Coast Local Area Command.
The appointments were welcomed by the Member for Bega, Andrew Constance, who said these Officers would boost and compliment hardworking local officers.
“I welcome them to the region,” he said. “These men and women will be a great asset in protecting residents and upholding law and order in the community.”
He said the NSW Government was on track to delivering its election commitment of 16,356 officers by June 2014.
The Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Michael Gallacher, said that since December 2011, the government had increased the strength of the NSW Police Force by 210 officers.
“Having varied knowledge and experience among our police is vital, and I’m very happy we’re seeing that in the background of the probationary constables graduating this week.”
Anyone with information about any of these incidents should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Narooma police 4476 2044.
