Quesnel, B.C.- You might want to call them Royal Canadian Mini Police.

52 children from the   community of  Quesnel  have graduated from the  Quesnel RCMP Kids Camp.

The 7th annual event  saw the  little ones experience everything from  handcuffing, radar, marching , and even took some target practice with  some water guns.

Highlights of this year’s event include the Police Dog presentation, a tug of war and final  graduation.

"The one day event is aimed at building positive relations with local youth and providing the kids an opportunity to be mini Mounties for a day" states  Cst. Krista Vrolyk, Quesnel RCMP Media Relations Officer.
