The probationary officer is no stranger to the area, spending his high-school years in Tamworth.
After school, he studied at university before applying for the NSW Police Force, starting his training in August last year.
"I just thought that I'd enjoy it and I could help people," he said.
The 21-year-old spent six weeks shadowing two senior constables and "putting my knowledge into practice".
"It's great here. I enjoy working with everyone," he said.
The probationary constable is on a three-year tenure in the Oxley Police District and in a year's time will earn his stripes.
