Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan has welcomed six new probationary constables to the region.

The new recruits will start their careers in the New England Police District next week after graduating from the NSW Police Academy at Goulburn.

Four will be based in Moree with another two in Inverell, including father-daughter duo Steve Romer and Ebony Baxter who are both locals.

They are part of a cohort of more than 300 recruits who graduated from the Academy on Friday.

“I would like to congratulate the six new recruits who will begin their police careers in the Northern Tablelands,” Mr Moylan said.

“A career in the police force is a significant commitment and I commend the new recruits for choosing this path.

“It is also excellent to see locals return to their hometown of Inverell to serve the community.

“Well done to each and every one of them and I am sure they will be welcomed and supported by the Northern Tablelands community.”

As part of their appointments, the probationary constables will receive 12 months of valuable on-the-job training and study by distance through Charles Sturt University.
