Junior PCSO Scheme Launch

On 1 September children joined local PCSOs from Millbrook’s Safer Neighbourhoods Team to tidy up their community. The ‘tidy up’ was the launch of Shinewell Gardens Junior PCSO Scheme which has been organised in partnership with Radian’s Community Involvement Team.

Children equipped with litter picks and rubbish bags cleared the area of rubbish in no time. After the hard work came the fun and games. The highlight for many children was during a game of catch when they got PCSO Hopkins out first. Junior PCSOs 1 - PCSOs 0!

Junior PCSO Schemes help children to build relationships with the Police and understand how anti-social behaviour impacts on the community. The Scheme will run throughout September offering a range of activities including a visit to Redbridge Fire Station and meeting the Police Dog Handlers.
