At the 11th hour, on the 11th day, of the 11th month – we stood together for our two-minute silence.
To reflect upon and honour the sacrifice made by our Armed Forces, and to commemorate those who have served both past and present to protect our freedom.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
"Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
"At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
"We will remember them."
On the 12th November, officers visited Bushywood Scout Camp to meet a group from the Willingdon Scouts!
PCSO Jackson and PCSO Greck spent the evening educating the youngsters on the dangers of vaping, smoking, alcohol & drugs.
We held a quiz, and asked the scouts to prepare a role play in their groups to demonstrate peer pressure and to perform these to the rest of the group.
It was great to see everyone joining in and having fun!
Knife crime has a devastating impact on victims, loved ones and local communities.
We work closely with our partners and take proactive action to ensure knife crime remains low in Sussex and keep our communities safe from harm.
This week is Sceptre week, a national week of action to raise awareness of the dangers of carrying a knife by:
-Patrolling hotspot areas and disrupting any knife-related activity
-Working with our partners to educate and encourage young people to not carry knives.
-Provide reassurance and guidance to parents and guardians on starting the conversation of knife crime with children in their care.
-Sharing the locations of our knife amnesty bins (no questions asked).
