"POLICE are to be sent into primary and secondary schools in Scotland in a bid to stop children becoming involved in crime.
Officers will work with teachers and social workers to offer children additional support at an earlier age and parents of problem pupils will also be offered help and training. A two-year pilot scheme will be launched in April and if it is a success, it could be rolled out across the country. "
