Have you ever wanted to know what it’s like to drive a police car, work with one of the trained dogs and help your fellow people?

The WA Police are holding their Open Day this weekend for your chance to get a sneak peek of a rewarding role in the Police Force.

”The Police Force is here to protect the community and we are part of the community we are just in a uniform and the powers that we’ve got, but we want our relationship to be a positive one and one where, particularly children, see us as the protectors, as opposed to people you should be scared of,” Commissioner Chris Dawson told Steve and Baz.
