AN open day is to be held at the Museum of Policing in Cheshire at Warrington on Saturday, June 7.
The museum, at the Arpley Street Police Station, will be open from 10.30am to 4pm and the event will give visitors an opportunity to meet local officers and find out more about policing in the Warrington and Cheshire area.
Visitors will also be able to take a tour of the museum and discover what it was like to be behind bars in the Victorian era.
There will be a host of artefacts to see including handcuffs and shackles, murder weapons and police equipment. Police vehicles will also be on display.
Sergeant Rob Horton said: “The open day will allow local people to see how policing has evolved over the years. There will be plenty of children’s activities too. Budding detectives will be able to solve clues around the museum, have their fingerprints taken and dress up in historic and present day uniforms.
“It also gives the public the opportunity to meet local officers and pick up crime prevention advice”.
The open day is free to attend.
