Students and staff at Lewisham College received a visit from the youth engagement policing team from the South East BCU last week. Officers brought a wide range of leaflets, promotional items and also some hats/helmets for students and staff to try on for themselves.
The aim of the exercise is to build trust in the community, by explaining the process of stop and search, offering advice on telephone and online scams as well as looking at crime statistics locally.
PC Bining a...nd PC Zlatev said: "We have been overwhelmed with the amount of interest today, we have had so many students coming up to talk to us about tackling crime and they've loved looking at the information we have brought, as well as trying on the helmets and protective equipment for size. We're looking forward to coming back soon."
Students across the BCU will see the officers regularly over the next few terms in a bid to extend their engagement with the younger residents we work with.
