A DANDENONG police officer got a welcome surprise last week.
When coming out to the front desk to meet with reporters for their weekly media briefing, the officer was struck by the fact that no one else was in the Dandenong Police Station foyer waiting to see the cops.
He was heard remarking that in all of his years of policing “I’ve never seen this place empty“.

THE Journal was thrilled to see Dandenong’s delicious cuisine highlighted in the Herald Sun last week.
The 30 June Taste lift-out centre spread featured 10 foodie favourites – from burgers to bread, kebabs, sausages and more.
They’ve all made previous appearances in the Journal for their success and it was great to see them receive recognition on a bigger scale.
