Probationary Constable Jack Butler may already be known to quite a few people in the Inverell area where he hails from. Jack will be heading further west for his first deployment as a police officer and will be joining the team at Moree. Prior to joining the NSW Police Force, Jack spent time as a swim coach.

"Growing up I've respected the role police play in the community and it's something I have always wanted to do," he said.

The Officer-in-Charge of Inverell Police Station, Chief Inspector Rowan O'Brien said it was always refreshing getting new staff, especially when they are commencing their policing careers.

"Their excitement is contagious and invigorates the local staff that will be involved in their training," Inspector O'Brien said.

"An added bonus of this group is they are all from regional areas. This means they will already have a fair handle on what it is like to be part of a community and the importance of being professional and building relationships."
