Held regularly during the school lunch hour, the mini station gives students the chance to speak to police officers, access information and have personal property security marked.
Sgt Pennie Channing said: "The mini police station gives students access to information about drugs and alcohol to enable them to understand better the dangers posed by them.
"At last Thursday's session more than 10 mobile phones and a laptop belonging to pupils were security marked in a continuation of a crime prevention exercise started in 2009 at the school and Youth Centre.
"Pupils were also given rulers and pencils promoting the safe young persons websites www.yrspace.info and www.jnrspace.info."
