Two new senior police officers have arrived in the region and deserve the warmest of Clarence Valley welcomes, Clarence Nationals MP Richie Williamson has said.
"Superintendent Joanne Schultz took over from Superintendent Steve Clarke last year as Commander of the Coffs/Clarence Local Area Command, and by all accounts has hit the ground running,” Mr Williamson said.
"NSW Police have also allocated a second inspector for our area, joining Inspector Richard Garrels. Inspector Sally Scott has just started and is tasked with looking after the lower river part of the Clarence Valley."
Mr Williamson said that the promotion of women to senior roles in the NSW Police Force made the community stronger, fairer and safer.
"This has been a welcome and growing trend since the appointment of the first ever Commissioner of the NSW Police Force, Karen Webb APM, under the previous Liberal and Nationals Government," Mr Williamson said.
"The days of NSW cops being a boys club are fortunately long gone, and I really encourage girls and women from the Richmond and Clarence Valleys to look into a rewarding career with one of the world's largest police forces.
"Head on over to www.police.nsw.gov.au/recruitment. You may be pleasantly surprised," Mr Williamson concluded.
