Our recent visit to the police station was a fantastic learning experience. We were shown round the cells, which seemed to be the highlight for many, as well as the different areas of the police station used for interviews, CCTV and fingerprinting. Some of the children tried out the hard beds but most agreed that they would not like to sleep there although the lack of toys and television seemed to put them off more than the concrete beds.
The police van was very popular and most had a turn at sitting in the back of the van. The blue light and siren caused great excitement although we had to cover our ears the noise was so loud.
Thank you to all the parents who came with us on this visit – we appreciate your support. Thank you also to everyone at the police station for spending such a lot of time with us and making us feel so welcome. Here you can see the morning children very busy on their visit. Photos of the afternoon visit will follow soon.
