Kerri-Lei Carmichael has joined the team at the Bathurst Police Station, while Dominic Trovato has linked up with the Lithgow Police Station.

Both probationary constables started their jobs on Monday, having graduated from the police academy last Friday.

Chifley Police District Superintendent Bob Noble said he's pleased to have the two new constables onboard.

"These two people graduated at the academy last Friday. I was there and it was a great day but this is where the rubber meets the road," he said.

"We got these two members of the police force coming on board with the latest in training and most contemporary knowledge of police in the world, as a part of the finest police force in the world.

"It's certainly an exciting time, whenever you bring new people in. They bring fresh perspectives and new ideas. They bring a lot of enthusiasm with them too."

While it's just one new police officer at the Bathurst and Lithgow stations, Supt Noble said it's great to have them on board.

"It's a real boost," he said.

"Even just the injection of one at each of those stations is significant. It's another set of hands."

"It's been a long 32 weeks but it's well worth it, with the first couple of days I've been out there.

"I'm just looking forward to going out there and meeting people everyday, helping them in their time of need and working with the community."
