Last week a group of young people visited New Mole House Police Station. 

A statement from the RGP follows below:

During their visit, Crime Scene Investigators showed the Bishop Fitzgerald School pupils how to dust for fingerprints – before giving them a set of their own prints to  take home. 

Officers Nathan Bamber-Gates and Nick Ramagge also showed the Year 6 pupils  around the Control Room, the Traffic Compound and the Commissioner’s office. 

An RGP spokesman said: “Visits like this are great for introducing our officers to  children from a young age. 

“It’s so important for children to see our officers in a positive light, as people who are  here to help. Our officers want to be seen as approachable to young children, so as  to build trust at an early age. 

“It’s hoped that when they are adults, they will understand that they can confide in us  and they can look to us for help. And, it also helps to build a positive relationship in  the community. 

“We hope they enjoyed their visit to New Mole House.”
