ACTION
A "Mini Police" scheme run by City of London Police has helped teach primary school children about the dangers of cybercrime.
The force's economic crime directorate together with the community policing team ran the three-week programme at Sir John Cass's Foundation Primary School last June.
Officers delivered the training to a group of eight- to 10-year-olds about how to protect themselves from online fraud and how to share this knowledge with friends and family.
The pupils were given police-branded uniforms to wear during the sessions during a trip to Liverpool Street station where they handed out cybercrime prevention leaflets to members of the public. For the final session of the scheme, the children visited the City of London Police Museum to learn about the history of the force.
