Officers from Bridge Street West Police Station are encouraging children from Handsworth and Lozells schools to collect cards with safety messages to build bridges.

Thirty trump-style cards have been printed with caricature caricature, a satirical drawing, plastic representation, or description which, through exaggeration of natural features, makes its subject appear ridiculous.  pictures of officers from three neighbourhood teams.

 and Westminster schools are taking part. In order to collect as many as they can, pupils must approach an officer when they see them out and about on a beat. But before the officer agrees to a swap, the child must learn and repeat one of the safety messages printed on the back of each card. Those who don't bump into a bobby out on the beat won't miss out as officers are making weekly school visits.

There are ten special golden cards will be handed out at random, which combined with collecting the other 29 cards, will earn kids a special day out with the police.
