July 14th 2003.

We started in the Kitchen were PC Bolton 1737 was keen to explain to us that the Kitchen is open 24 a day hours and the kettle is always hot! After an explanation of what the Police do and some history of Biggleswade Police Station, PC Bolton showed us some of the equipment used by the police today, including the famous Bobby’s hat and truncheon. We were shown some of the police cars and sat in the police van. Some of the cubs were handcuffed to have their photograph taken by our friends from the Biggleswade Chronicle (not for ‘Wanted’ posters), and the old cells in the station were filled with Comanche Cubs. Later on PC Bolton showed us the police radios, and an away party was sent to the far end of the yard to try them out.

We are very grateful to PC Bolton for taking the time to show us around the station. A good time was had by the Cubs and the leaders.
