One of three probationary constables to report for duty in the region, the new arrival begins on Monday, alongside their classmates, in Inverell and Glen Innes.
As part of Class 337, which includes 261 probationary constables; the new recruits will continue studying for associate diplomas in policing practice via distance education as they begin on-the-job training.

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."
