A group of kindergarten students from the MILLS Institute enjoyed a visit to the Royal Turks and Caicos Police Post at Saltmills in Grace Bay to get an inside look on what the life of a police officer. The excited youngsters were shown around the operations room before getting a chance to climb aboard an emergency vehicle. They then inspected the new police bicycles and were given a talk about the role of a community officer. But the highlight for the children was seeing the cell, which is used as a holding facility. “The children were keen and enthusiast, and they really enjoyed their visit,” said Officer Kevin Clarke. “They had a lot of fun looking at the equipment and testing out things like the lights and sirens on the police vehicle, but they were definitely most fascinated by the cell. “One little boy said he’d like to go in it, but after an officer locked me in as part of a demonstration, he soon changed his mind.” “These visits are designed to encourage better relations between the community and the police, and the children left with plenty of knowledge about what we do on a day to day basis. “It was a pleasure to host them, and they were all a credit to their school and their families.”
