Scouts in Doncaster have been given a glimpse into the world of policing following a visit from officers.

Police Community Support Officers from South Yorkshire Police visited groups in Barnby Dun and Kirk Sandall.

A spokesman said: “These sessions give the Scouts the opportunity to hear about policing stories from those who actually do the job daily.

"The Scouts are given the chance to explore the police vehicles and look at some of the equipment the police use. It is also an opportunity for the police to educate the kids in relation to crime prevention.
