Officer in charge Sergeant Mark Gubanyi said he was often asked what his job entailed, so he wanted to give the community an idea of what a typical week was like for him.

‘Being an officer in charge of a regional WA police station is challenging and very rewarding,’ Sgt Gubanyi said.

‘It requires a dedicated person with a strong team of officers that reside within their town, show a sound knowledge in policing skills and are able to communicate well with the community and understands their concerns ” we are fortunate to have that great team.

‘I am dedicated and passionate at making York a safer community.’
