Police investigate five year old's question: Does the siren go nee-nah or woo-woo

Important questions were being answered by UK police when they went to visit a class of five year olds recently in North Swindon.

A talk was being given by police community support officers (PSCOs) but the conversation quickly became centred on more serious issues, like whether the police siren goes nee-nah or woo-woo.

Thanks to the police presence the problematic inquiry was swiftly investigated by hauling the students of Haydonleigh primary school outside to the police car and setting off the siren.

It is not yet known the result of their inquiry.

The police very courteously posted an apology on social media after the event to the neighbouring community.

"Apologies to anyone in the Haydonleigh area who may have been disturbed by our sirens yesterday morning - the PCSOs were at the Primary School having a very important debate with the new Reception Year children about whether they go nee-nah or woo-woo," The North Swindon Police wrote on Facebook.

“Our thanks to the teachers and pupils from the Robins, Puffins and Duckling classes for being so attentive to our 'People Who Help Us' talk, we were very impressed by your beautiful behaviour, thoughtful questions and knowledge about the police.

"We especially liked the suggestion that we should have police rhinos, and will be looking into the possibility of training them to knock down the 'baddies' front doors."
