Mini Police – Looking at Crimes and Consequences.
Recently some children worked with two police officers to find out what different types of anti-social behaviours are and their consequences.
They also looked at safe and unsafe buildings, discovering what could be used to keep houses safe, modern technology etc.
Using hand held speed cameras the children were able to stop some speeding cars and speak to the drivers.
The children also looked at crime scene investigation finding out about finger printing etc and what the different signs of drugs and alcohol.
