A WARRINGTON high school has joined in the fight against crime.
Culcheth High School is working in partnership with officers at Warrington East Neighbourhood Policing Unit.
The technology faculty at the school has created a special display box that neighbourhood officers can store equipment in while taking part in local community events.
PCSO Steve Dodd and his colleagues at Risley Police Station regularly visit local schools, senior citizens’ groups and local community organizations to talk to them about safety and security – and give out valuable crime reduction advice.
As part of those talks they take along a variety of crime busting items – including personal safety alarms, timer switches and locks.
The new display cabinet, which was designed and built by teacher Chris Smith – with the help of students, will allow local officers to keep all of the equipment together in one place – and to transport it easily to each event.
PCSO Dodd said: “We are really grateful to the school for all their help and support. The crime reduction talks are an important part of our role and we spend a lot of time out and about in the local community, meeting people and talking to them.
“The display case will be a valuable tool as it will allow us to keep all the items we need together in one place and we can easily take it with us to each of the talks we do.
“We work closely in partnership with local schools in the area and projects like this help to strengthen those links.”
