Daniel dreams of being a boy in blue

A BLOG about a Swan Hill man and his dream of becoming a police officer has been making waves in cyberspace.

The story of E.W. Tipping Foundation client Daniel Worner and his aspirations of joining the constabulary through a blog on the foundation’s website hit nearly 6000 views in the first four days after being posted.

The blog centred around Mr Worner’s visit to the Swan Hill Police Station, arranged with the help of Mr Worner’s support worker Caleb.

First Constable Ben Coloe from the Swan Hill Police Station met with Daniel to chat about what it is like being a police officer.

First Const Coloe showed Mr Worner his police baton and pepper spray, while in turn Mr Worner showed off his drawings of police badges.

The visitor to the station had a great time and was very happy to receive a police pen, ribbon, poster and a cardboard cut-out police car from First Const Coloe, who the foundation thanked for his time.
