Today, P.C. Wilson visited P4-7 to give them an insight into her job as a member of the Emergency Services. The pupils heard about a normal day in the life of a police officer (there really is no normal day!)<\/p>\n

P.C. Wilson explained that the main aims of the Police force are to guard, watch and patrol. They work to ensure communities are kept safe. Our area has a Road Traffic Unit to deal with accidents, speeding and any other vehicle issues and a Port Unit which deals people’s safety when going on\/off the boat.<\/p>\n

The youth section of Police Scotland (P.S.Y.V.) do lots of work locally and this is open to children from the age of 13.<\/p>\n

She reminded them of the emergency number 999 and the non-emergency number 101 and the times when each would be used.<\/p>\n

The children asked lots of great questions. This visit really helped their HWB understanding of Emergency Services.<\/p>\n
