Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall congratulated the new recruits and thanked them for their commitment to preventing and disrupting crime.
"The new recruits will be wonderful additions to the local police 'family' and it's great to know they will be very supported by their fellow officers as well as a growing group of young officers who have arrived over the past two years," Mr Marshall said.
"Policing can be an extremely challenging profession but with the training they've received from the academy and from what they'll learn in their local commands they'll be adequately prepared to step into this important role.
"If you happen to see our newest officers, please stop, say g'day and welcome them to our region."
