The event, which was held from 12pm to 4pm, allowed local residents to meet their policing, ambulance and fire teams as well as touring the station.
A spokesman said: "Thank you to the 900 plus people who weren't put off by the rain and joined us at Ely Police Station.

"Thank you to our cadets, Speedwatch volunteers, Special Police Officers, Neighbourhood Watch Scheme and Bobby Scheme who helped and supported the event."
