Sunday 10th September, 11am – 3pm 

Bring the wee ones and the older ones and come behind the scenes to see what it’s like to be a police officer for the day!

Activities include:

• The Marine Unit (boat included minus the water!)
• Roads Policing (fast cars and motorbikes AKA nee naws to the wee ones)
• Police Dogs and Horses (because who doesn’t love our furry friends…criminals aside)
• The wildlife crime team (just to make sure there’s not too much horsing about)
• Counterfeit goods (can you spot a fake?!?) 
• Recruitment (Come and join us!)

Our partners will be out in force as well with their smiling faces and fancy kit including:

– Scottish Ambulance Service
– Scottish Fire and Rescue Service
– British Army
– The City of Edinburgh Council
– Borders Search and Rescue
– Coastguard
– Spartans Street Football
– 6VT Edinburgh City Youth Cafe
– Action for Children
– Lothian Buses
– Emergency Riders

and lots more activities to keep the kids busy! 

This year all of the proceeds will be donated to Marie Curie with a raffle to be drawn on the day with some fantastic prizes on offer including; afternoon tea for 2, signed rugby and football tops, spa day, family tickets to various City Centre attractions, restaurant vouchers, hairdressing vouchers, holiday vouchers, golf vouchers and theatre tickets.

The Open Day is free entry, but will have a limited capacity. However please remember the event is running from 11am to 3pm so feel free to pop in to see us throughout the day!

As much as we love furry friends due to our police dogs/horses being in attendance only guide dogs will be permitted entry on the day.

Please note – the attendance of some specialist police resources and emergency partners will be subject to operational requirements.
– You may be searched prior to enetering the event arena.
