The Museum of policing

Lesson: PSHE and citizenship

Class: Year 6 Year: 2023 - 2024

The new cohort of Mini Police had the opportunity to visit the Museum of Policing in Warrington. They were able to explore policing through the ages as well as looking at a vast selection of artefacts. We were amazed at how much policing has changed over the years and found it hard to believe that at one time the police only had a whistle with which they caould call for help! We were also fascinated by the vehicles and the harsh punishments for people, including children, during the Victorian era. As always, we thank Merseyside Police for welcoming us into the policing family and giving our children such unique and valued experiences. Also, our thanks to the volunteers at the policing museum who were lovely and very knowledgeable.
