👮 Today, the Ystradgynlais Neighbourhood Policing and Prevention Team had a fantastic time visiting the Food and Fun project at Ysgol Golwg y Cwm.

We were joined by PC Lloyd and our Police dogs, Max and Frankie, who were a big hit with the children! They learned all about the important role our police dogs play and even had the chance to race Frankie to the ball – with some very determined competitors!

A huge thank you to everyone at Ysgol Golwg y Cwm for inviting us. We loved spending time with you all! 🐾👮
