    countryparty.org.au - A Call for a Change: Rebuilding the Colac Police Station We often underestimate the importance of the efforts of the rural law enforcement such as the officers that work out of the Colac police station.

Citizens and political figures fear this station in Colac is not as it should be, because the government often marginalises the county Polwarth.

    The main reason why i would like to work for Hutchins Police Department is because i wouldn't just be a badge number to my superiors and the citizens of Hutchins. It appeals to me because i would be able to form relationships with not only the citizens, buisness owners but also my collegues, which I would not have the opportunity to do if I worked in a large agency. Something else that interest me about Hutchins is the fact that I would receive the necessary training that I would need to become the best police officer I could be. I am extremely dedicated to anything I put my mind to, and I strive for excellence.…
