Newy 87.8 FM – Singleton's Youth Engagement Officer, Senior Constable Jason Huebner, has been recognised at the annual Rotary NSW Police Officer of the Year awards.
Senior Constable Huebner, of the Youth Command, received the Irene Jurgens Fellowship Award (Sworn) at a gala dinner at ILUMINA in the Sydney CBD on the evening of Friday 6 November 2026.
The awards are a joint initiative of Rotary Clubs of NSW and the NSW Police Force, recognising professional excellence and dedication to service by officers and civilian staff.
NSW Police said Senior Constable Huebner has shown an exceptional commitment to supporting vulnerable and at-risk young people, often volunteering significant time beyond his duties.
He works closely with youth services to deliver vehicle restoration and bike repair programs that teach practical skills, build confidence and encourage positive engagement.
He also personally transports young people to youth programs outside Singleton and regularly engages with students in schools, providing mentorship and education.
Police said his outreach to remote communities has strengthened relationships between police and young people, creating lasting benefits for individuals, families and the broader community.
The overall Police Officer of the Year award went to Detective Senior Constable Christopher Phibbs of the St George Police Area Command.
Awards were handed out across 10 categories, with presenters including NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon APM and Minister for Police and Counter Terrorism Yasmin Catley.
