Some of these new recruits are destined to be stationed in Katherine.

The 12 ACPOs are graduating after finishing their 24 week training program, which began in December last year.

Following their graduation they will be posted to Katherine, Tennant Creek, Nhulunbuy and Groote Eylandt.

Commissioner Jamie Chalker APM said the support and assistance provided by Aboriginal Community Police Officers is vital to our local Indigenous communities.

"They have the opportunity to be great role models and mentors and provide another level of community engagement that builds the relationship between the community and police."

The graduation will be live streamed on the NT Police, Fire and Emergency Services Facebook page from 5pm.
