Probationary constables Kim Latu and Troy Davis completed their induction on Monday before starting in general duties.

They are the first recruits to be assigned to the command since four started in 2014.

Probationary Constable Latu's dream was to become a police officer since she was 19.

Now 46, she said the reality had not yet sunk in.

“It wasn't until I stepped into the office [on Monday] that it was real, so it's only the beginning of the achievement really,” she said.

Probationary Constable Latu spent 20 years in security prior to applying.

“In my family, we've had barristers and magistrates but never a police officer,” she said.

“I've always wanted a job where day to day, I don't know what's going to come my way.”

Probationary Constable Latu said the academy was tougher than she had anticipated, and far more academic.

“You're up at 5.30 in the morning and you might not get to bed until 11pm and it's not guaranteed until you get on the [graduation] parade ground,” she said.

She expected to be in general duties for the next three years, and believed domestic violence was one of the main challenges facing the region.

But she also said search and rescue and the detectives appealed to her during her time at the academy.

She nominated the command as one of her preferences, having grown up in the area.

“I like the community and it's where I wanted to be,” she said.

Canobolas Local Area Commander Superintendent Shane Cribb said it was exciting to welcome the two officers.

“I'm excited to have to have them to provide me with some input,” he said.

“Probationary constables are placed where they are required from an organisational point of view and we were fortunate to be provided with two.”

Superintendent Cribb said the additional officers brought the command's strength to 109.

The two officers will complete a 12-month rotation across highway patrol, the detectives, the forensic services group, the target action group and the crime management unit.
