Community Police Office Julie Twigg Visits PHS
Page 5
On Tuesday 20th May 2014 Community Police Officer Julie Twigg came to Parkside House School to
meet with a group of KS3 pupils, to discuss the work of the police force and the consequences for
young people when they are arrested and charged with an offence.
This was the second visit PC Twigg had paid to the school and each time she visited she spent time
with pupils from the Green Group: Kevin, Jack, Reece and Dane and the Blue Group: Lucy, Kayleigh,
Shane and Connor.
On her first visit PC Twigg arrived in a police van and the pupils in the green group had the opportunity to sit in the cage at the back of the van and be locked in. It was a scary experience and the
pupils said they would not like to be in the van in any other circumstances.
On her second visit PC Twigg let the pupils sit in her squad car and take turns of setting the sirens
off and turning on the blue lights. The pupils really enjoyed the experience.
In the class room PC Twigg talked about the serious issue of young people being picked up by the
police, of the types of offences young people are arrested and charged with and the serious longterm effects that having a criminal record can have on a young person’s future.
The behaviour of our pupils on both occasions was exemplary and they loved asking PC Twigg lots of
questions about her role as a police officer for the last 25 years.
PC Twigg will be a regular visitor now at Parkside House School
