Children at a Monmouthshire nursery school enjoyed a visit from the Abergavenny Neighbourhood Policing Team.
The youngsters from Hopscotch Nursery in Gilwern tried on police hats, saw a police car at first-hand and other police items, sparking lots of curiosity and excitement.
Ward manager for the Abergavenny, PC Aled Thompson, was joined by PC Sam Hall and Police Community Support Officers Leah Murphy and Joshua Carey for the visit on Wednesday 29 January.
This educational and interactive experience helped the children understand the importance of neighbourhood policing in a fun way.
PC Thompson said: "As a neighbourhood team, we enjoy being at the heart of our communities, working in partnership with organisations to ensure that everyone feels protected and reassured
"We spoke to the children about the role we play in keeping our communities safe and gave them an opportunity to be mini police officers, which added an extra layer of excitement to the day.
"It was evident just how knowledgeable the children at Hopscotch Nursery were of the role and importance of policing, and they also had the chance to chat to us and ask us questions."
