On Monday 2nd October, 9 of our Mini Police visited the PSU site in Meadowfield, to get an insight into some of the training that police officers undergo during their training. Shown around by Craig, they were shown some of the ways that officers enter locked properties and where they brush up on their fingerprint collecting skills. Children explored the staged rooms and cells asking plenty of questions along the way. Finally, the mini police were able to take part in their own version of training, shadowing those officers who were being put to the test in how to deal with incidents on the street during a riot. Demonstrating that they could follow the calls given by the trainer, it’s safe to say the real officers were given a run for their money by Leadgate Mini Police. An enormous thanks to all those who gave up their time to explain and demonstrate different training techniques. All of the children were extremely enthusiastic about their visit and couldn’t wait to tell the remaining mini police about their morning.
