A record 341 new NSW Police recruits will attest at the Goulburn Police Academy today – the Police force’s largest class in 13 years.
Class 367 is the third record-breaking class to attest in 2025, marking a 1000 student milestone for NSW Police this year.
“Reaching the milestone of 1000 students attesting this year is an achievement that reflects our ongoing commitment to building a strong and capable police force for the future,” said NSW Police Force Commissioner, Mal Lanyon.
“The newest class of probationary officers represents the next generation of policing in NSW, and I have every confidence in their ability to serve our communities with professionalism and integrity.
“Recruitment at this scale means we can meet the needs of a growing state, boost our frontline services, and uphold the trust and safety of communities across NSW.”
On Monday, the Probationary Constables will begin 12 months of on-the-job training across NSW including:
- Central Metropolitan Region – 77
- Northern Region – 65
- North West Metropolitan Region – 74
- South West Metropolitan Region – 65
- Southern Region – 30
- Western Region – 30
Class 367 is made up of 248 men and 93 women, aged between 19 and 54. The cohort also includes 14 First Nations officers and officers who were born in 19 different countries.
Today’s class also includes 50 officers from regional communities who have elected to serve in or near their hometown after attesting, taking advantage of the NSW Government’s Be A Cop In Your Hometown program and bolstering regional policing resources.
“Congratulations Class 367 – today marks the end of your training at the Goulburn Police Academy but the beginning of your responsibility to NSW,” said Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism, Yasmin Catley.
“Policing is an incredibly rewarding yet challenging career and each one of today’s 341 recruits is stepping up with integrity, professionalism and dedication.
“Class 367 is proof that the Minns Labor Government’s reforms to rebuild the NSWPF are working.
“We are paying recruits to train, offering pathways to serve in or near their regional hometown after attesting and backing them every step of the way – there’s never been a better time to join the NSW Police Force,” she said.
