NSW Police graduates biggest class in 13 years

New South Wales Police has graduated 341 new recruits aged 19 to 54 in the biggest police academy class in 13 years, marking Commissioner Mal Lanyon's first cohort. The graduation comes as the force implements paid recruitment training to address staffing shortages, though thousands of officer vacancies remain unfilled. Retiring Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty concluded 40 years of distinguished service, having investigated major crimes including the Bondi Junction Westfield stabbings.
