The probationary constables are part of the latest class of 257 officers that were marched out of the Goulburn academy on Friday.
Armidale, Glen Innes and Inverell will all gain an additional officer, while Moree will secure three of the new recruits.
Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall said the latest allocation would boost the total number of probationary constables to 26 that had been posted to the New England in the last two years.

“I would like to welcome our newest officers to the region and extend our gratitude to them for devoting their careers to such an honourable cause,” Mr Marshall said.
“I know the qualifications our officers have completed at the Police Academy, together with the on-the-job training they will undertake at the Moree Police Station will ensure they are more than adequately prepared to step into this important role.
“Policing can be an extremely challenging profession and our officers encounter the best and the worst of humanity in the line of duty, so I’m very pleased that our community will benefit from the enthusiasm of these officers starting their career on the beat.”
