The children also received the opportunity to visit and view the holding cells at the police station.

Communications manager for the home, Raymond Madibogo said, “The information given to the children will come handy in their lives. We at times see things happening on our street and are afraid to report them for fear of being victimised. The information we got will help us when reporting illegal activities, bettering streets in our community.”

Madibogo also thanked Midrand Police Station for the educational tour.
