From the 23rd until the 27th March, the Cavendish Safer Neighbourhood Team visited all of the local nurseries and infant schools for a week of community engagement and educational fun. ‘PCSO Steve’, an 8’00’’ costume of a fun and friendly Police Community Support Officer was the focus of attention being an excellent medium for interaction between the children and the police. Emphasis was on creating a relaxed environment in order to introduce the children to the nature of policing and to create a sense to trust between us for any future encounters. The proactive scheme has hopefully instilled reassurance in the community that the police are approachable, accessible and enthusiastic about being involved within the neighbourhood.
