Inverness Crime Prevention Panel, exhibiting jointly with Northern Constabulary at the students “Freshers” exhibition at Inverness College, were delighted with the response from students attending.
The College caters for over 8,500 students, from a variety of countries, of all abilities and from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
Jim Ferguson, Panel Chairman said:
“We feel it important to meet and help people face to face and this type of exhibition enables us hopefully provide information about the different types of scams and general criminal activities that young people joining the college and moving from other areas may not be aware of”.
Duncan Carmichael
Representing Northern Constabulary said:
“We were made to feel welcomed by the students and were even asked by a number how they could join the police force!
It was encouraging to be able to speak to so many young people and help prepare them to avoid potential problems ahead”.
Duncan went on to say:
“We had the usual requests for our panic alarms, and despite the number we had, soon ran out, and were also able to give the students help with mobile phone theft prevention”.
