0:00:22 > 0:00:24This story belongs to Jack
0:00:24 > 0:00:26and his Grandad John.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35It's a tiny tale about Grandad John
0:00:35 > 0:00:38and the things he used to do.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Very good, Jack.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Great catch, Jack.- Good boy.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48HE LAUGHS
0:00:50 > 0:00:53And now it's time for Grandad John
0:00:53 > 0:00:55to take Jack on a journey of discovery
0:00:55 > 0:00:59and share his stories of when he was younger.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- Jack, your grandad used to be a policeman.- Wow!
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- Would you like to be a police officer?- Yes, please.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Grandad's brought some hats today.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Would you like to try and find some in a hat hunt?
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Yes.- OK, Jack. Off you go.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Ooh, it's a bit cold. Ooh!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26You're getting very warm.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Very, very hot.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Found it!
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Ooh. So, bring that to me and let me explain that one to you.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39This is called a police helmet,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41and that's what Grandad had to wear
0:01:41 > 0:01:46when he used to walk around the town and the streets.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50So this is what it looked like when grandad used to wear it.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52HE LAUGHS
0:01:52 > 0:01:55See? You've done very well. You've found one hat,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59but there's another one to find, so do you think you can find out?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Yes.- Off you go.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Er, no, it's cool.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08It's cool...
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Ooh, you're getting warm now. Very good.- Found it!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Hat hunting is so much fun!
0:02:20 > 0:02:25Let's have a look at some very old photos of Grandad John.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Grandad John was a policeman for many, many years.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Doesn't he look smart?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Police officers walk around the streets
0:02:39 > 0:02:41to meet people and help them.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43They help people when they're lost,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46they help keep cars and traffic moving,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49and they help out at accidents.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Police sometimes even use specially trained dogs
0:02:55 > 0:02:57to help them find people.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00The police make sure that people are not naughty
0:03:00 > 0:03:02and don't break any rules.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04They are there to make sure
0:03:04 > 0:03:07that people don't take things without asking permission
0:03:07 > 0:03:09and they don't hurt anybody.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13If they do, then the police officer will catch them
0:03:13 > 0:03:17and try and make sure that they don't do it again.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33- So, would you like to see Grandad's really old uniform?- Yes, please.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Then I'll go and put it on.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39That's lucky. It still fits.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Yes, I think I've done well
0:03:41 > 0:03:44to squeeze into it after all these years.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48So I think it's time for you to get into your uniform, don't you?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Yes, I do, too.- Come on, then.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Wow, Jack! You look absolutely fantastic!
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Do you like your new uniform? - Yes.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Now I'm a policeman just like you.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02You really are, and I think
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- we're ready for duty, don't you? - Yes, me too.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Oh, Jack. You'd make a brilliant police officer.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19Here's an old photo of Grandad John as a baby with his daddy.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I was born in a police station,
0:04:22 > 0:04:26and that's where your Great-grandad Ronald was a policeman
0:04:26 > 0:04:31and your Great-grandma Mary used to have to help him at times.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Things were very different in Great-grandad Ronald's time,
0:04:35 > 0:04:39because you didn't have mobile phones or walkie-talkies,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42and he had to stand outside a telephone box
0:04:42 > 0:04:45for people to contact him.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Great-grandad Ronald was a fantastic policeman
0:04:50 > 0:04:55and he received a special medal for helping people.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57What a brilliant award to get.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Jack should be very proud of his Great-grandad Ronald.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Let's see what Jack and Grandad John are up to now.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09After a few years of being a policeman,
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Grandad didn't need his uniform, because he became a detective,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17and a detective had to dress up in different disguises
0:05:17 > 0:05:22so people wouldn't recognise him. Do you want to see some of my disguises?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Yes, please. - I'll show them to you, then.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- How about this?- Very funny!
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Do you know who it is?- Grandad.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- What about this one?- Very funny!
0:05:37 > 0:05:40HE LAUGHS
0:05:42 > 0:05:48- What about this one? - Ha-ha! That's the best disguise yet!
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Nice sunglasses, Grandad John.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02It's time now for Grandad John to take Jack on a trip
0:06:02 > 0:06:04to see a real police station.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Do you know why the police take fingerprints, Jack?- No.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Well, the reason is that they can find out that it is Jack
0:06:14 > 0:06:18and that it's not somebody else who's pretending to be Jack.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23- Would you like to have a go at that? - Yes, please.- OK.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27So what I used to have to do was to have ink,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29and we used to put it on here.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31This is a piece of equipment
0:06:31 > 0:06:34that Grandad John used back in the olden days.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36This looks like it could be messy.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39So, let's do that fingerprint.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Shall we put that there? And let's do that one.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Ooh, there. That's made a splodge.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50We make it ever so messy.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54We do all of those on there...
0:06:56 > 0:06:59..and there's the other four...there.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05I think we'll keep our hands just like this for the moment
0:07:05 > 0:07:08until we get them clean, Jack.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Have a look at the tips of your fingers.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Can you see the tiny patterns?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Everyone's fingers have a special pattern on them,
0:07:26 > 0:07:30and when people touch something, a mark is left behind.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32This is called a fingerprint.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37Everyone in the world has there very own set of fingerprints.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Fingerprints are not always easy to see,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44which is why the police sometimes use
0:07:44 > 0:07:46this special powder to try and find them.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51When your fingerprints are collected, they're stored away,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53nowadays on computers, and can be looked at
0:07:53 > 0:07:57if the police need to catch somebody being naughty again.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Grandad John and Jack have gone to have a look around a police museum.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Here are some handcuffs Great-grandad Ronald used to use.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13So what do you think is the difference
0:08:13 > 0:08:18between Grandad's handcuffs and Great-grandad Ronald's handcuffs?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22These are older and yours are, like, shiny and cleaner.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27- They are, aren't they? - His are all dirty.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- And that's because they're very old, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- So, would you like to put the handcuffs on Grandad?- Yes, please.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- And which ones would you like to put on?- Yours, please.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48That's it.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- So now you've handcuffed your grandad.- Yeah!
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- It's a good job I've got the key, isn't it?- Yeah, very good job.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58It's time for Grandad John and Jack
0:08:58 > 0:09:01to have a look around the police museum,
0:09:01 > 0:09:06which has lots of things the police used many, many years ago.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12Look at the very old police helmets. How fascinating.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Ooh, look, there's a policeman here, Jack.- Wow-wee!
0:09:20 > 0:09:25And he used to wear what's called a cape.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27That kept him very warm.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31And there's lots of things on this table. What do you think this is?
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- A hairdryer? - Well, it's actually a speed gun.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- Do you want to have a look at this, Jack?- Yeah.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43And that tells you how fast cars are going.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Let's go and see some more things.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03Great-grandad Ronald knew all about speed guns and police cars
0:10:03 > 0:10:06because he used to work in the traffic department,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09and he used to watch how fast cars we're going
0:10:09 > 0:10:11by using a special machine.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Nowadays, there are speed cameras at the side of the road,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17and also road traffic police cars,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20which can tell how fast cars are travelling.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Look at this old police car.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Police officers are specially trained to drive police cars fast
0:10:26 > 0:10:29and practise driving round traffic cones.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33This is because sometimes they have to drive quickly on an emergency.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Other cars know to move out of the way
0:10:36 > 0:10:39because of the flashing lights and the wailing siren.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42The police don't just use cars to get around.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Sometimes they use boats, motorbikes...
0:10:46 > 0:10:48and even horses.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57But today, Grandad John is taking Jack
0:10:57 > 0:11:00to see a very brightly coloured car.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03So, Jack, we're in a very special car.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06This is for road traffic policing.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Your Great-grandad Ronald used to be in charge of police cars.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15Look at this very old picture of Great-grandad Ronald
0:11:15 > 0:11:17standing next to one of the cars.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21I think the police cars that he had might have been different
0:11:21 > 0:11:23to the one you're sitting in now.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25How do you think they might be different?
0:11:25 > 0:11:26They have a siren.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31They do AND they have lots of other things as well. Blue lights.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Do you want to press the button for the blue lights?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Press that one.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41And all the blue lights are on.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Shall we just see if the siren makes a noise?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46SIREN WAILS
0:11:51 > 0:11:54So, that was really noisy, wasn't it?
0:11:54 > 0:11:59- So, would you like to have a drive in a police car?- Yes, please!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Well, I think we can arrange that.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04SIREN WAILS
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Wow! You're very lucky, Jack.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Not everyone gets to ride in a police car.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Jack, I've really enjoyed our time together
0:12:32 > 0:12:35talking about being a policeman. Have you enjoyed it?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Yes, I've enjoyed it a lot.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43- Excellent! Can you remember all the fun things we've done?- Yes.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- What sort of things have we done? - We played catch.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50We saw lots of old things at the museum.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I handcuffed Grandad.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56We went in a police car.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I went on a hat hunt.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I got dressed up as a policeman.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I laughed at Grandad wearing silly wigs.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- And what have you enjoyed most of all?- Getting my fingers inky.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Ooh! Well, I've got your fingerprints here,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19and you can take those, and thank you so much
0:13:19 > 0:13:23for giving Grandad such a lovely time. Thank you.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29What a fabulous heap of fun!
0:13:29 > 0:13:34That was Jack and Grandad John's tiny tale about being a policeman.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Now Grandad John has shared his story with Jack,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43it's time for Jack to start his very own story.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Do you know someone with a story to share?
