HE walked us through what the BID Team was doing in Mansfield and what his day looked like. Sadly, Our day started out rough as there was a security officer who was stabbed by an armed robber.
Day 10, Wednesday the 3rd of May: Daryl had a deal with the people of the CCTV central in Mansfield that we could come and take a look at how one of those centrals looked. It was a truly awesome experience. We then went around to a couple of shops to check on the CCTV footage from there, And filed a report on some thieves caught on the CCTV from a couple of the stores.
Day 11, Thursday the 4th of May: This day we were meant to go out and check on all the CCTV kits Daryl has setup around the shops of Mansfield, Though after the first checkup we got a missing persons report, That a 73 year old woman with dementia had been separated from her husband. So on we go with searching for this woman. She was found 30 minutes later, Dissorientated in a clothes shop nearby. We then went peacefully about checking up on the other CCTV kits and got a tour around Four seasons shopping center by one of the security officers there.

We went out and patrolled a short while around Mansfield before leaving for the lunch at West Nots. We then went back home and prepared for dinner together, some of the other students went out drinking afterwards. I don’t drink so I went home and packed and prepared for leaving the next day.
