Jayden Prestwood created a Police Interceptors board game and incorporated PC Jon Peacock and PC Rich Precious, who feature heavily in the show, as characters.

Jayden came up with the concept and meticulously hand drew the 50 squares that players must work their way through in order to win the game.

He also decorated the board with police pictures.

And the Police Interceptor programme makers Raw Cut TV were so impressed that they invited Jayden and the two officers, down to London for a day out last month.

PC Jon Peacock and PC Rich Precious were keen to join Jayden on his trip to London as a way of acknowledging the hard work and effort he had put into creating the game.

PC Peacock said: “We were so impressed by the time and enthusiasm that Jayden had put into the game that we wanted to bring it to the attention of the programme makers.”

“We were delighted to be able to play the game with him on his birthday, and also to join him in London on his special day.”
