ESSEX Police visited two schools in Burnham and Southminster so young people feel confident when approaching officers.
On Thursday, the Rural Engagement Team visited Burnham County Primary School and St Leonard's C of E Primary School, where they delivered talks on a range of topics, including road safety.
The sessions were an opportunity to meet the pupils, answer their questions, and reinforce the message that the police are here to keep them safe.

A spokesperson for Essex Police said: “Community engagement is a vital part of modern policing, and building positive relationships with the children in our district is especially important.
“We want young people to feel confident approaching us, to know that we are here to help, and to feel comfortable telling us if something doesn’t feel right.”
Later in the day, officers seized a vehicle after discovering the driver had no insurance and did not hold a valid driving licence.
