PCSO Neeves discussed how CCTV was used in solving crime, preventing crime and reducing the escalation of events, the students were then shown the custody suite, with DNA and fingerprint collection areas and the police cells. The students continued to the CCTV room, there the students were interested to see the power and coverage of CCTV in and around Oswestry.

The trip was a huge success and gave everyone a valuable insight into the detection of crime, and the processing of criminals.
