UKROEd delighted to attend North Wales Police Open Day event

UKROEd was pleased to be invited by North Wales Police to attend its Open Day last weekend, which has been hailed a huge success after welcoming thousands of visitors from across the region for a day of community engagement, education and family-friendly activities.

Held at the force’s headquarters in Colwyn Bay on Saturday 23 May, the event brought together officers, staff, volunteers, other blue light services and partner agencies – including ourselves at UKROEd – to showcase the wide-ranging work carried out by the force every day to keep communities safe.

Visitors enjoyed a packed programme of attractions and demonstrations, including police dog displays, a joint Fire and Ambulance display, vehicle exhibitions, interactive activities for children, a visit by the police helicopter and much more.

The Open Day created a positive and welcoming environment for families and residents to engage directly with officers and staff, strengthening relationships between the force and the communities it serves.

Stands offering road safety advice linked to agricultural vehicles, a HGV and trailer safety were included on the main car park as well as stands from MônSAR (Môn Search and Rescue), the Coastguard, RNLI and Mental Health Motorbikes.

Chief Constable Amanda Blakeman KPM said: “We are absolutely delighted with the success of this year’s Open Day. It was fantastic to see so many people attend and engage with officers, staff and our partner organisations.

“Events like this are incredibly important in helping us build trust, strengthen relationships, and give people a better understanding of the work we do every day across North Wales.”
