On duty in the classroom

Abstract

Describes ways to ensure police involvement in schools works. Considers a typical first contact between the police and young people and the developments following the Scarman Report in 1982 leading to policing in the community. Reflects on the role of the police as educators and their deficiencies in meeting that position. Believes an approach that aims to be educational, empowering, co‐operative and user friendly, produces the best response and illustrates this by devising materials for use by the police in their community work in schools.
