Ten crimefighters are heading to the Coffs Coast following this week’s attestation ceremony at the NSW Police Force Academy in Goulburn.
Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the new probationary constables will begin work at the Coffs-Clarence Police District on Monday, 4 May.
“This is a great day for the Coffs Coast and an important boost to police numbers in our region,” Singh said.
“The welcome arrival of 10 more police provides reassurance to our local community which is grappling daily with the scourge of crime.
“Simply put, we can never have enough police, which is why I will always fight for the allocation of additional resources here on the Coffs Coast.”
Singh said he wished the new probationary constables every success as they began their policing careers in the region.
“I thank each of them for taking on a job which they will undoubtedly find challenging, confronting and at times, dangerous, as they work to keep our community safe,” Singh said.
“Because police can not be everywhere, they need our help in tackling crime. That’s why it’s crucial we remain vigilant and security-conscious, and report all criminal activity to the police.”
