Local police officers visited Brook Primary School in Histon last Thursday, 26 January, to talk to children in Foundation stage classes.
The visit, part of Neighbourhood Policing Week – a national campaign aiming to shine a light on the work of neighbourhood policing teams – saw South Cambs officers meet with children and teachers at the school.
The four and five-year olds were treated to a tour of a police car, and enjoyed seeing the lights flash and hearing the siren go off. The children were also shown some of the equipment used by the police on a daily basis, and had the opportunity to quiz officers on what it’s like to do their job.
One of the children said: “We got to ask questions to find out how police officers help us. They showed us the police car and we heard the loud siren!”
This visit and other neighbourhood policing activities were documented on the force’s Facebook page, with community police officers also calling in on Oakington Cubs and Orchard Park Primary School as part of the Neighbourhood Policing Week initiative.
