The new probationary constables will begin their policing careers on Monday after their pass out parade in Goulburn on Friday.

Four of the new police will be posted to positions across the New England Police District, while one new officer will hit the beat in the Oxley Police District.

The five are part of 19 recruits posted west of the Great Dividing Range in the Western Region, and from a class of 192 officers who graduated.
