Mini Police
The local policing team have been working with Bournville, Windwhistle and Oldmixon primary schools to build positive relations and inspire our young people to contribute to the wider community by establishing mini-police!
This scheme is an interactive volunteering opportunity for primary school children. It aims to introduce children to a positive experience of policing and to get them involved in the local community.
This help sus build relationships with young children so that they see us as friends who safeguard the community rather than people to be suspicious of.
We hope that being part of the policing family from a young age will lay the foundations for future career aspirations and help these kids to make the right choices in life.
