## Caption

Senior Constable Dani Lowry is a country cop and mum, and she loves being both. ⁣
⁣
Dani grew up in Swan Hill and worked at Mildura Police Station for around seven years after joining Victoria Police in 2017. Earlier this year, she moved an hour down the road to Ouyen Police Station to be closer to home, where she’s married to a local farmer. ⁣
⁣
Dani speaks highly of working in the country and the community benefits that come with regional policing. ⁣
⁣
“Working in Ouyen I literally know everyone, and everyone knows me ... Going to get a coffee down the street takes at least half an hour because the locals all want to stop and chat to you.” ⁣
⁣
Asides from being a police officer, Dani loves being a mum to her two children Hamish and Willow. ⁣
⁣
She’s very grateful for the support from the other members at Ouyen Station, where they “are like a big family.” ⁣
⁣
They have been flexible and supportive in Dani’s return to work, allowing her to pop home to breastfeed Willow or express at work in a safe and comfortable space. ⁣
⁣
On a few occasions Dani has been caught up at work and her boss, Sergeant Peter Mcnair, has picked up Hamish from Kinder. Not without buying some lollies or chocolates on the way back to the station, of course (see photo evidence)! ⁣
⁣
The appreciation extends to Hamish, who invited 'Big Pete' to his fourth birthday party this year. ⁣
⁣
Dani’s advice to mums returning to work: seek advice from other mums and find out what works for them, chat to your boss to organise flexible arrangements, and (perhaps most importantly) put your child on a childcare waitlist at birth! ⁣
⁣
Interested in a career in policing? Well, what are you up to this Sunday, 15 September? We’re hosting our first regional police careers expo in Mildura. ⁣
⁣
Police, both general duties and specialist units, and members from our recruitment team will be there to chat and answer your questions. ⁣
⁣
Dani was asked to help at the expo, but she has her sister’s Hens party – as the Maid of Honour, we’ll forgive her! ⁣
