Local police officer Adam Smart popped in to The Nursery in Portishead to read his new book to the children, written to help overcome negative images of the police.

He said, ‘I was astounded how many parents would tell their young children that if they didn’t behave they would get “the police officer over there” to tell them off. We really don’t need this negativity, so I thought creating the adventures of Officer George could help children understand that police officers are here to help.’
