Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the $100million investment across the state will see new police stations also constructed in Goulburn and Jindabyne, major upgrades at Bathurst and Bourke, and a $35million new police training facility in Dubbo.
She said the announcement comes at a time when the state "has some of the lowest crime rates in 20 years", and also committed $58 million to recruiting 1500 police officers over the next four years.
Two new small police stations will also be constructed at Perisher and Thredbo.
Ms Berejiklian made the announcement alongside Police Minister Troy Grant at a Goulburn attestation ceremony for 201 new officers.
Bega MP Andrew Constance said some of the new recruits will be allocated to the South Coast Police District.
