Boronia Police were privileged to host the Bayswater CFA Junior Fire Brigade at our Station last night.

Sgt Pete and Senior Constable Zac were able to give the crew a tour of the Station and answer any questions they had about Policing.

They were a great bunch of youth to host and hopefully we will see a few of them on the beat in years to come.
