The police dog section carried out an operation as part of its training following an invitation from college principal Sue Daley.

"This is a really positive partnership," she said.
"By advising people of the dangers and potential repercussions of drug use, we hope that this will allow us to avoid it within the college, and what's more keep the college's staff, students and visitors safe."

The principal has given the Neighbourhood Policing Team and other members of the Lincolnshire force full access to all campus sites in Boston, showing how keen the College is to prevent drugs from being brought onto campus and to prevent any misuse of drugs.

The college has also joined in partnership with the Town Neighbourhood Policing Team, which has been given the use of an office on the college site where it will be holding regular drop-in sessions.

The partnership has been brought together in order to support the community, and it will be something that is ongoing in order to make the College a place where drug dealers don't want to be.

Community beat manager Martyn Chambers said: "This kind of opportunity is necessary for us to be able to target the young people of Boston, and get the message across that drugs aren't worth it.
"Drug dealers tend to prey on the youngsters and we are here to help prevent that."

No drugs were found during the training operation on Wednesday.
