Murray River Police District, which includes Albury, will receive one of the new officers while three will be stationed in the Riverina Police District.
NSW Police Force Commissioner Karen Webb conducted her first attestation ceremony as chief when the students of Class 351 took their oath of office.
Among the 133 men and 60 women were 14 recruits born overseas, with their countries of origin including China, Philippines, Britain, Greece, Russia, Portugal, Burma, Serbia, Malta, Germany and Kuwait. Nine recruits are Indigenous.
Commissioner Webb welcomed the latest intake.
"It's a job that involves putting others first every time we put on the blue uniform, but it's an extremely satisfying career," she said.
