Members of Nottinghamshire Police’s Mansfield neighbourhood team and Mansfield Operation Reacher team, alongside PC Phil Broughton, from Police Interceptors, attended a community event at Spectrum WASP.
Spectrum WASP – We Are Special People – is based at Ransom Wood business park and provides support for parents with children and young people on the autism spectrum with disabilities, special and additional needs.
A police spokesman said: “The visit gave the children and young people an insight into different aspects of our daily jobs.
“This was a special evening for them all and hopefully made their day.”
