Rugeley Brownies visit the police station
Two PCSOs and a PC were helping a group of Brownies with their enquiries last week.
The girls, aged seven to ten years, were from the 12th Rugeley Brownie pack and spent around two hours being given a tour of Rugeley police station by PCSOs Liz Dale and Sue Hughes and PC Bradbury of Cannock Chase Local Policing Team.
The girls were treated to an arresting tour of the custody block as well as being given an opportunity to examine all the equipment in a police vehicle. They also investigated the procedures involved in fingerprinting.
PCSO Liz Dale said :“The idea for the visit came after I went and spoke to the Brownies last April about my work. As a PCSO, part of my role is to get involved with community groups and activities. The Brownies meet every Tuesday during term-time and they get involved in a variety of activities.
“They thoroughly enjoyed their evening with us and seemed to get a lot out of their behind the scenes tour. I think the fingerprinting was the biggest hit of the night, though.”
