Announced by the NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Tuesday, the Riverina is set to receive an extra six officers over the next 12 months, including one specialised child protection register officer.

The new officers are part of the 1500-officer boost expected to be deployed across the state over the next four years.

But, according to Riverina Police District Superintendent Bob Noble, the new appointments are unlikely to be stationed in Junee.

It follows ongoing speculation over policing numbers, with up to four of the town's eight full-time officers currently on extended sick leave.

"Obviously any medical situation is a highly personal issue whether it pertains to a police officer or any other individual," said Superintendent Noble, when asked about the officers' expected return dates.

To alleviated the temporary shortfall in Junee, Superintendent Noble said there are plans to loan two officers from Wagga and Cootamundra over the next three months.

Apart from the week's announcement, Cootamundra MP Steph Cooke has indicated she will continue to fight for additional officers to join the Junee station.

"I take police resourcing very seriously and am on the record as seeking additional positions in line with the expansion of the Junee Correctional Centre," she said.

"The police in Junee do a fantastic job, and I'm pleased to say my office has received no complaints whatsoever in relation to response times or police presence in recent months.

"I understand some officers are currently on leave and I wish those officers all the best."

One long-term resident of the western side of town, who wished to remain anonymous, said her recent dealings with the police had changed from this time last year.

"You used to see them around a lot more than they are now," she said.

"You never see them around any more, it just feels like no-one's got any protection like they're never there. Don't bother calling, they'll never turn up.

"I tried to go to the station every day for a week, and they were never there, or they were always too busy to take a statement.

"[On one occasion] the door was locked, but I could hear [people] inside, do they not open up to the town any more?"

Acknowledging the concerns raised over police visibility, Superintendent Noble highlighted that in this situation "sometimes things are not what they first appear".

"I cannot comment on one-off happenstances or speculate as to what may or may not have occurred in isolated instances," he said.

"I can, of course, speak to my own experiences. Recently I attended Junee police station and could hear people moving and talking inside but the door remained unanswered.

"When I let myself in via a back door there were two tradesmen working on building improvements within the station. The police were out attending to a job."

Superintendent Noble reiterated sentiments concerning the proactive work of Junee's police force.

"The police currently working at Junee and those that travel to Junee to assist, are doing a very good job under - at times - very difficult circumstances," he said.

"I would encourage the people of Junee Shire to support their cops and get behind them.

"I believe most people in that community do support the local police and are not happy to hear them be run down."

In matters of policing the town, both Ms Cooke and Superintendent Noble welcomed feedback to their respective offices.

"To those [in Junee] who either support their local police or may have questions of them, why not walk up to them when they see them in the street and express these sentiments?," Superintendent Noble said.

"Police are part of the community and generally want the same things - respect, safety, and a place among others in society - in this common ground we can work together to build a better place to live."
