On Wednesday 29th July Police officers from Stechford Police station visited 2030 (Elmdon and Yardley) squadron to have a talk to the cadets. Police Officer Alan Price who served in the Royal Signals and worked with the RAF for several years in Germany led the night with two newly trained police officers.
 
The beginning of the evening was the serious part when the cadets were told about weapon crime in the area and what punishments people will receive for those who carry weapons, a collection knifes, nun-chucker and knuckle dusters were passed around the cadets in safety capsules so no one would injure them self's or use the weapons. Then it was time to talk about drugs and what they do and how people can get misled into drugs and most importantly how dangerous they are not just to the user but the people around them too. Examples of illegal drugs were shown in a case so everyone could see what these harmful substances looked like. After the cadets had seen examples of weapons and drugs photos were shown of people that had been caught up in weapon and drug crime. All the cadets thought it was very useful to know about all these crimes as the realism of them is far from what television and  Hollywood movies make them appear to be.
 
After the talk from Police Officer Alan Price the cadets went outside where the traffic police had a car and a bike waiting. A small talk was given to the cadets about what happens as a traffic police officer and there roles and duties and a demonstration of the stinger been used that catches cars in high speed pursuits. Then the cadets were shown around the vehicles and inside allowing the cadets to put the sirens and lights on the cadets thanked the traffic Police and it was back inside.
 
Police Officer Alan Price finished the night of by explaining that there was a fun side to the evening but also a serious part and who not to get mixed up with during the summer holidays. The cadets were all complimented by how smart they looked in there uniform "and are an example for teenagers there age to look up to". The cadets gave a round of applause and thanked the police for such a fantastic evening
