Sixty Nottingham schoolchildren have become mini police officers as part of a scheme aiming to improve Notts Police’s relationship with the community.
The children were signed up to the scheme at Southwark Primary School, Old Basford, on Thursday (February 1).
It is hoped they will become the first of many ‘Mini Police’ members across Nottinghamshire, improving the force’s links with local people but also helping to protect children.
The budding officers get lessons in online safety and crime detection, plus uniforms and hats.
