He has joined Detective Senior Constable Chris Wells to complete the Murrumbidgee Police District Rural Crime Prevention Team.

The team are specialised investigators who link in with additional resources and intelligence practitioners to tackle a wide range of rural crime issues.

Along with providing advice and investigating local matters, the team will be focused on strengthening community confidence by working with rural industries and community groups.

Senior Constable Levett's deployment has increased the capability of what was previously a single rural crime investigator at Murrumbidgee Police District.

Commander of Murrumbidgee Police District Superintendent Craig Ireland was excited for the new chapter of rural crime prevention in the district.

"I am very pleased that Murrumbidgee PD received one of six recently appointed Rural Crime Investigators in NSW regional areas," he said.

"Adam is an experienced officer who will combine with Chris to make a formidable team committed to tackling rural crime across our district."

The NSW Police Minister visited Dubbo in July last year to announce the deployment of the new Rural Crime Investigators across the state.

Police Minister David Elliott said the move was directed to combating stock theft, trespass, illegal hunting and firearm theft.

NSW Police Rural Crime Prevention Corporate Sponsor Assistant Commissioner Geoff McKechnie APM welcomed the announcement which will strengthen the policing presence in remote locations of Western, Northern and Southern regions.

"The six additional Rural Crime Investigator positions allocated across the state will give us the capability in places we haven't previously had before," he said.

"We plan to establish a Rural Crime Prevention Team at Casino on the North Coast, comprising a team of sergeant and two investigators.

"Those positions will roll out over the next 12 months and we'll form that team, working in what is known as the cattle capital of NSW."

Other positions will be filled in more remote locations in Western and Southern NSW and increase the level of capability that Rural Crime Investigators working as single units currently don't have.

"That capacity will be boosted by a second officer, giving those communities far greater levels of coverage," Assistant Commissioner McKechnie said.

He urged the public to engage with their Rural Crime investigators within their local police districts to establish relationships well before a problem occurs.
