Deepings Police Station to host community day

A community day will be held at the recently reopened Deepings Police Station on Wednesday (August 1).

A recruitment drive on social media resulted in seven volunteers and the station reopened in April this year.

It is now open to the public Monday to Friday from 10am to midday. The volunteer team work in the office to support local police, take messages for them and engage with members of the public visiting the police station.

The volunteers have also spruced up the police station, updated the notice board, and cleaned down the entrance ramp to make the station more welcoming.

A community day is planned for Wednesday August 1 when the public will be invited to meet their local volunteers and their local policing team. There will also be activities for children.

Among the things planned include mug shots, bike marking, station tours, finger printing and visits to the cells.

The event will take place at the police station, which is in Douglas Road, Market Deeping - next to the library.
