Two, Arna Marinovic and Wes Bush, will be stationed in Orange for their three year probation, bolstering numbers at the station to 62.
Two others, Patrick Adams and Gerard McCarthy, are attached to the Cowra station and have already been rostered on to patrol their adopted town.
Acting Local Area Commander, Inspector Dave Powell, said the new recruits were keen to get started.
"They are raring to go and have a lot to learn but they will be well looked after during their time here,” Insp Powell said.
Prob Const Bush said he joined the Police Force to help the community and would put up with seeing people at their worst "as long as I can help”.
Prob Const Marinovic said she wanted to join the police because the work was something she could be proud of.
Three of the probationary constables are from regional NSW while Prob Const McCarthy is from Surfers Paradise.
He said he joined up because when he was a civilian he saw police doing a good job.
"I hope that is how people will look at us,” he said.
