A NUMBER of High School pupils in the Borders got the opportunity to look round their local police station on Monday November 14 2022 to see for themselves the different roles that officers carry out.
Students from the Hawick High School’s Enhanced Learning Unit visited the station where Community Action Team officers police constables Ryan Stewart and Carin Tait-Logan acted as hosts.

The students spoke to response officers who are first to the scene of incidents reported by the public.
They also visited the cells where prisoners are held following their arrest and spoke to the custody officers who are responsible for their welfare before learning about the force’s officer safety training programme.
