Our newly elected Mini Police from years 5 and 6 had the pleasure of attending the launch event at the Emergency Services Training Centre in Birkenhead along with five other schools.

The children were lucky to see the National Police Air Service arrive in a helicopter and were able to see the police dog section and mounted police with their horses Boris and Harriet.
They also had a talk from the armed response team and were able to sit in their vehicles and all the children sat on a police motorbike.
This is the start of their journey as Mini Police and they will be attending more events in the future.
