Member for Myall Lakes, Tanya Thompson, has today welcomed three new probationary constables to the Manning-Great Lakes Police District.
The new officers bring a strong personal connection to the region. Two of the recruits are returning home to start their policing careers, while the third has already called our region home for the last 18 months after moving from Mount Druitt.
Mrs Thompson said it was heartening to see officers choosing to serve the community they call home.
“It is great to see two locals returning home to serve, joined by an officer who has already called our region home for the last 18 months,” Mrs Thompson said.
“Choosing to serve is a big commitment. Seeing these officers stay local to protect the community they grew up in, as well as the place they now call home, is very special.”
Mrs Thompson also expressed her gratitude for the wider police force across the Myall Lakes.
“Our local police are so important to our community, it’s a difficult job and I want to thank each and every one of them for the work they do to keep us safe.”
