Op Sceptre 2025

Good Morning.

Operation Sceptre is a national police initiative focused on tackling knife crime. It involves a week of intensified action to remove knives from communities and educate the public, particularly young people, about the dangers of knife crime. Op Sceptre also emphasizes early intervention and looking "further upstream" to address the root causes of knife crime.

As part of Op Sceptre there will be knife amnesty bins at Bridlington, Beverley or Clough road Police stations, If you have any old or unwanted knives which you would like to have disposed of please come to any of these Police stations and hand them in at the front counter.

The Hornsea communities team will also be calling in at the local schools regarding Op Sceptre and will provide the schools with power points to show the pupils which highlight the impact of carrying a knife.
