West End Primary pupils approach RCIPS Officer Ashton Ferguson with a number of questions.
Year-5 pupils of Cayman Brac’s West End Primary School continue to look at social organisation, democracy, and systems of government and as part of their studies, recently invited government officers as resource persons.
Acting Royal Cayman Islands Police Service Sergeant, Ashton Ferguson, Assistant Chief Immigration Officer, Roger Scott, and Immigration Officer, Nichola Bodden, visited the school earlier this month.
Police Officer Ferguson enlightened the pupils on the main duties of the police which are:
- the preservation of peace and good order,
- protection of life and property, and
- the prevention and detection of crime.
He gave them an insight on laws protecting property and by extension the purpose of the police, emphasising that any democratic society works in the public interest in areas of safety, justice, and good order.
Immigration Officers Scott and Bodden spoke about immigration laws protecting the shores and people of the Cayman Islands.
These sessions, held on two different days separately for the police and immigration officers, were interactive with the children asking a number of questions of these resource persons. |
