North Wales Police Headquarters in Colwyn Bay will once again welcome the public as they mark their 50th anniversary later this month.

The commemorative event will be staged on September 14, providing visitors with valuable insights into the workings of the police force and crime prevention tips.

The free event, which is open to all ages, will kick-start at 10.30am and continue until 4pm.

Audiences will have a chance to meet police dogs, interact with local officers, learn about recruitment procedures, and understand the force's operational dynamics.

Participants will also get real customer experience by sitting in a police car, viewing specific team demonstrations, understanding how 999 calls are handled, witnessing forensic collision team operations, meeting the drone team and so forth.

Additionally, the fleet department will explain how they manage all police force vehicles.

A drill by police cadets, arena displays, public order displays, child-friendly activities and food stalls are among the numerous attractions slated for the day.

The event will also include an exhibition held in a conference room showcasing equipment, old uniforms, photographs and stories from the past.

Chief constable Amanda Blakeman said: "This year we’re celebrating five decades of dedicated service to our communities, so the Open Day is a perfect way to commemorate this milestone.

"The key to successful policing is strong links and support from the community, and events such as this help to achieve this.

"The Open Day promises to be fun and enjoyable for visitors of all ages and gives us the opportunity to provide visitors with an insight into the work of the Force and to raise awareness of ongoing initiatives.

"I and the rest of the Chief Officer Team are looking forward to welcoming you to Police Headquarters."
