A NEW interactive police website for school children, teachers, parents and police officers is set to be unveiled.

Greater Manchester Police's education web page -- the first of its kind in the country -- is an innovative addition to GMP's Schools Liaison programme which has been carried out by officers across the region since 1992.

The site's mascot, Sergeant Stripes, guides users through pages of personal safety information, crime and consequences, details about drugs laws, alcohol and other social problems as well as interactive quizzes and scenarios.

Sergeant Trevor Pile, GMP's School Youth Liaison Officer, said: "The website contains up-to-date material, which is flexible to ensure its use across different age ranges and levels of ability."

The website can be found at: www.education.ntu.ac.uk/gmp
