A police community support officer (PCSO) taught The Manor Mini Police about crime scene investigation (CSI) and the collection of evidence.
The lesson was delivered to The Manor Mini Police.
Melksham Police posted about the informative session delivered by PCSO Griffin on Facebook.
Melksham Police said: "Here, they learnt all about forensics including PPE, cross contamination, types of evidence and the collection of evidence.
"Two of our class volunteers even got to wear some of the equipment while they were helping the class with their very own investigation."
Wiltshire Police has its own CSI Team made up of 16 officers of all ranks and is part of the bigger South West Forensics’ group which, when required, shares CSI staff and expertise from Wiltshire, Avon & Somerset, Dorset and Devon and Cornwall Police.
CSI work is varied and daily business can include crimes like burglary, mobile phone examinations, assaults and fires. These jobs are usually dealt with by the local force’s CSI Team.
However, major crimes like murder can be tackled at a regional level with experts from the South West Forensics’ group collaborating.
