RECEPTION children enjoyed a fun-filled day with officers from Barrow Police.

Barrow community team were invited to Chetwynde School recently, and officers received a very warm welcome from the reception class.

Sergeant John Dilks and Community Beat Officer Matt Noden showed the children police uniform and they had much a lot of fun trying on jackets and hats.

A spokesman for Cumbria Police said: "The main message we wanted to get across was that the police are always there to help them and their families, and we will always keep them safe.

"We finished by going outside and showing them the police van, before finishing with a blaze of lights and sirens.

"Everyone had a lovely time and class teacher Mrs Stepanian has invited us back for her future classes to meet the police."
