AROUND 1,000 visitors got the chance to go behind-the-scenes at the Museum of Policing in Warrington.

An open day was held at the Arpley Street museum on Saturday as part of the Heritage Open Weekend.

Visitors got the chance to visit the displays, see some of the cells, check out the fascinating exhibits and even make their own finger prints.

There were also displays and the chance to try on some police clothing.

Members of the public, organisations and school visits are all welcome to visit the museum.

The museum is a registered charity and funded through public donations and staffed by volunteers. Admission to the museum is free of charge. It is situated within the working Police station on Arpley street in Warrington, so for security reasons we ask people to book before visiting.

You can arrange a visit by going to the Museum of Policing in Cheshire website or by calling them on 01606 365803.
