New Police Officer For Cowra

Probationary Constable Jack Doheny has joined the team at Cowra Police Station, being one of 220 police recruits to graduate from the academy in Goulburn last month.

Mr Doheny is now out in the field reporting for duty after eight months of world-class training.

Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke was pleased at how forthcoming the community of Cowra had been in welcoming Constable Doheny to the region.

“I warmly welcome Jack to Cowra as he joins a fine team of officers who work so hard for Cowra and the towns and villages that surround,” Ms Cooke said.

“It is great to see an increasing amount of officers having the opportunity to hone their skills in a regional community.”

“I encourage locals to get acquainted with the new officers as knowing these soon to be familiar faces reinforces the trust and reliance our small communities have in our police officers.”

Mr Doheny’s graduating class, Class 349, included 153 men and 73 women with some recruits entering the NSW Police Academy straight from school or university, while others left established professional careers and trades.

The NSW Government has committed to invest $583 million to introduce 1500 extra police over four years to enhance community safety across NSW and is investing $60 million over four years to upgrade the Police Academy at Goulburn.
