'Crimebusters'!....









'Crimebusters' is a New Deal project that aims to get young people thinking about the impact of crime on themselves and their community.

PC Simon Forscutt the New Deal Schools Link Police Officer has been delivering lessons in three New Deal schools to students aged 9 to 12.

On the 5th and 11th of July the young people will be presenting their work and, in recognition of their participation each child will receive a certificate, and each school will receive equipment to the value of £500.00.

The awards will be presented by Doug Gill vice chair of Walsall's New Deal, the presentation events are taking place at:
  • Blakenall Heath Junior, Field Road - 5th July at l0.00hrs.
  • Leamore Primary, Bloxwich High Street - 5th July at 13.30hrs
  • Frank F. Harrison - 11th July, from 13.00 to 15.00hrs
At the events the best ideas from the children will be shown in whatever format they decide; it could be a drawing or painting, or a publicity leaflet of a short drama performance.

We will also be handing over the equipment from New Deal to a representative from the school.
PC Simon Forscutt said; "This project has bee an real pleasure, the work produced by the children is fantastic. I am really looking forward to seeing the presentations from the young people".
