2SMART roadshow launched in Basildon

Friday, 30 April 2010

2SMART: The roadshow gets ready to roll across the county after a Basildon launch.

THE 2SMART bandwagon rolled into Basildon on Tuesday.

More than 800 pupils aged 11 and 12 watched the stars of this year’s roadshow give their warning messages about being ‘2Smart’ for bullying, drugs, alcohol and knives.

The performers, at the Towngate Theatre, included Rich Johnson - one of the country’s best mountain bike trick/trials riders - Kayzar Dance, and Big Fen and A2W - two of the best basketball freestylers in the world.

Inspector Kevin Whipps said: “One of the strengths of the show is how many young people we are able to reach.

“It is a chance to give them positive messages about taking the right path in life and it also gives them the chance to gain confidence in us, helping to build a strong relationship between young people and the police.

“It generates a real buzz and gives officers and young people something in common.”

2SMART is an award-winning project organised by Essex Police.

Previously, it was known as ‘2 Smart 4 Drugs’, but has expanded its scope in the face of growing crime trends to keep pace with young people’s educational needs.
