Malinsgate Police Station to open its doors to the public
We’re opening the doors to Malinsgate Police Station in Telford to the public next month for a unique look behind the scenes of West Mercia Police.
The public are invited to come along on Sunday 10 September, between 12pm and 4pm, to meet their local policing teams, as well as explore the station’s custody suite.
People will get the chance investigate a crime scene, meet our police dogs, speak to their local officers and even find out how they could join West Mercia Police.
The event is open to all ages, and entertainment for children will also be provided.
Inspector Richard Jones, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for the public to come along and meet some of their local officers and share any concerns or thoughts they may have with us.
“The day will offer members of the public a unique look at what a working police station looks like, as well being able to sit in a police car and visit custody.
“There will also be lots of entertainment in place for children, including a guest appearance by our force’s mascot PC Peeler.
“The event is completely free, and I would encourage anyone interested in policing, or anyone who wants to experience first hand what our job looks like, to come along on the day.”
A number of external exhibitors are also expected to be there on the day, including other emergency services.
If you have family and friends who would love to have an insight into policing, or to have a fun day out then tell them about our police open day at Malinsgate. Or maybe you’re police staff and thinking of becoming an officer, this event is perfect as you get the opportunity to speak to officers and experience policing first hand.
