Pupils show big enthusiasm during police-led safety session

YOUNG pupils at a Salisbury primary school have been learning how they can help make their community a safer place after a visit from police officers.

Officers visited Woodlands Primary School in Winding Way yesterday (Tuesday, March 10) to deliver an interactive Mini Police session for pupils.

PCSO Quinn attended the school alongside the force’s Youth and Early Intervention Team, leading a discussion focused on antisocial behaviour and how it affects communities.

During the session, children explored what antisocial behaviour is, the impact it can have on neighbourhoods, and the positive role young people can play in helping keep their area safe.

Pupils were encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas, with officers praising the enthusiasm shown by the class.

Police said the children took part in lively discussions and demonstrated a strong interest in learning how they can contribute to their community.

The visit formed part of the force’s Mini Police programme, which aims to help young people understand policing, build positive relationships with officers and encourage responsible citizenship from an early age.

Officers thanked the school for welcoming them and said it was inspiring to see pupils so engaged.

A spokesperson for Salisbury Police said it was “fantastic to see young people so engaged in supporting their community” during the session.

Schools across the area regularly host Mini Police events, which aim to teach children about safety, respect and community responsibility while giving them the chance to interact directly with officers.
