February is the 10th anniversary of the 2009 Victorian Bushfires. Victoria Police Museum is holding an exhibition, 'Things of Fire and Ash, Remembered', that pays tribute to the personal journeys and reflections of community members and police officers… bit.ly/2REE0cE

Today we returned the station flag to Marysville police station in a special ceremony, after 10 years of care with the museum. It was recovered from the ruins of the station after the 2009 Victorian bushfires. We worked with local police to return the flag home.
