Local children and families got the chance to understand what it’s like to be a police officer at an open day held at Ely Police Station yesterday.
Children could get their fingerprints taken, take the speed gun challenge, get a cycle security marked and meet the local policing team as well the Cambridgeshire Police and Crime Commissioner Councillor Jason Ablewhite.
There was also a police dog display and other activities.
Sergeant Phil Priestley said: “Thank you to everyone who attended our Ely Police Station open day yesterday.
“It was great to see and meet so many families throughout the day.
“Highlights included trying on the police uniforms, taking on the speed gun challenge and exploring the police cars, ambulance and fire engine.”
One person said on social media: “What an enjoyable, interesting and insightful afternoon it was. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to run this event.”
