Young Police Cartoon.
Two 16-year-olds have been recruited by a police force to work as community support officers (PCSOs).
It means the teenagers could be given powers to guard crime scenes, issue penalty notices or detain suspects until police officers arrive.
They will also be allowed to confiscate alcohol consumed in public despite being too young to drink and can direct traffic even though they cannot drive.
They are undergoing training for their new roles, said Thames Valley Police.
