Pupils at Enid Capron Primary School received a visit from officers of the Royal Turks & Caicos Islands Police on Thursday 24th January.
Earlier this morning Police Public Relations Officer, Special Constable Audley A. Astwood and Social Media Officer Constable Kevin Clarke, spoke to pupils about community safety and gave information on what the police do. This was the second visit made by the police. The school visit on the morning of 22nd of January 2013 was the first of many which will take place throughout this year.
The officers were in North and Middle Caicos on 23rd of January at Raymond Gardiner High School and all of the primary schools in both islands. The children got a chance to meet and asked questions to police officers from various sections of the Police Force. Officers spoke to the pupils about road safety, internet safety, joining the Police Cadets and crime prevention.
Special Constable Audley A. Astwood said: “One of the goals of this initiative is to visit all of the schools within the country. We arranged these visits to the schools as it is a great way of educating children on what the police do and the young people that we speak to are usually very interested in policing.”
Rachel Taylor, Principal at Enid Capron Primary, said: “It is so important that the children see the work that the police do in order to build positive relationships between police, school and the community.”
