An emergency services open day is being held today between 10am and 5pm at Waddesdon Manor.

Waddesdon police station holds an annual open day with Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue and other organisations attending include South Central ambulance service, Buckinghamshire County Council and other key partner agencies.

With it also being the National Trust's Heritage open day there is the added bonus of Waddesdon Manor being free to enter.

An estimated 4,000 to 5,000 people are expected to attend the event.

Your local neighbourhood policing officers will be on hand talking about the role of a Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) and the responsibilities the officers and PCSOs have. The Special Constabulary will also be available to talk to about their role and how other people can help and join the team if interested. The Force helicopter will hopefully be making an appearance and the local Neighbourhood Action Group will also have a stall explaining their role and the good work they do in the local community.

For the children, a ‘power slide’ will be available and the Manor will be providing face painting, balloons and much more.

Neighbourhood Specialist Officer for Waddesdon, PC Gareth Morley, said: “This will be a great opportunity for everyone, young and old, to find out more about the emergency services and what we do in the area. It will also be a chance for you to meet your local neighbourhood team and highlight the issues affecting you.

“Please come along to this free event, not only to support the Manor but your emergency services.”
