West Midlands Police - placing geocaches

[Maple Leaf]

The Soho & Victoria neighbourhood policing team (West Midlands) have placed two geocaches as a way of interacting with geocachers in their community.

The caches are:

Back to the Roots GC556BY (http://coord.info/GC556BY)
Turtle Mania GC58MX7 (http://coord.info/GC58MX7)

There has been a news article this week http://www.west-midlands.police.uk/latest-news/news.aspx?id=1420

I have sent them an email telling them about the GAGB (in case they aren't aware of us) and asked if they would like to write a short article for our next issue of Seeker magazine.

The two officers in the article photos look a little scary..............
Cannot see these caches been ''nicked'' any time soon!

The cache seems stocked originally with crime prevention advice - a move I applaud. I am also very happy to see GSP accepting the possibility that some caches with an "agenda" are a good thing.

What a pity they did not feel so some years ago when a cache was set up near the Tsunami Aid centre after the Ceylon tragedy and required that archived.

These police caches break the placement rules... No commercial advertising... :D (jks)
