Meet the police officers, dogs, volunteers and emergency responders working hard to keep them safe each and every day across the county. Lots in store for everyone in the family to enjoy and entry is completely free.

If there’s any young aspiring police officers in the making in your family, they’ll be able to sit in a police car or on a motorbike, talk to the officers serving in their neighbourhoods and speak to the specialist teams about what they do each day to protect the public. Our brave police dogs will also be there alongside their specially-trained handlers, including demonstrations on live incident scenarios, drills from our police cadets, arena performances, children’s activities and, of course, food and drink stalls.

Parking isn’t available on site, so we have arranged a park and ride service, costing £3, that can be purchased in advance of the event for families wanting to leave their vehicles at the Staffordshire County Showground. A double-decker bus will be running all day to bring visitors to and from each site.
