We have had a great time learning about the police and what their job includes. We were very lucky to have Police Educator Dorris come in to teach us all about her job. She told us that the Police are there to keep us safe. She taught us that we are only allowed to dial 111 in an emergency.
The Armed Offender Squad came in to see us too. We got a fright as they ran into the multimedia room, but we loved learning all about their special job. They had lots of equipment that weighed 30kg! It was very interesting to hear about the way that they would enter a house. We liked learning about the 6-banger, their special goggles, tear gas, smoke bombs, and of course all of their guns! At the end we were even allowed to hold some of the officers guns. If you want to know more about the AOS just ask somebody from room 6!
We think that the Armed Offender Squad do an amazing job and we are lucky to have them. Some of us would like to be Policemen when we grow up.
