POLICE officers in the Scottish Borders have been engaging with youngsters in the local community.
Last week some S6 pupils from Hawick High School visited the town’s police station where School Link Officer PC Ula Trochimiak enjoyed showing them around and answering questions about the different roles local officers carry out.

Fellow School Link Officer PC Ryan Stewart also went to Selkirk High School for a question and answer session with students working towards their Nat 5 Law qualification.
And he was really impressed with the questions the students had prepared and thoroughly enjoyed his afternoon working with them.
PC's Trochimiak and Mortimer also attended Newcastleton's No 8 Youth Club, where they enjoyed catching up with the youngsters. And they let them try on their uniforms and equipment.
