Op Sceptre - tackling knife crime

This week we’re supporting Op Sceptre, a national campaign to tackle knife crime.

We know locally knife crime is relatively low compared to other areas, however, we’re not complacent and continue to take action to stop people from carrying a knife in the first place.

Today we have been out and visited retailers , to educate and help prevent the sales of bladed articles to persons underage, our main  focus this week is to prevent, educate , engage and enforce to tackle knife crime.

If you are concerned about someone who may be involved in knife crime, or on the periphery of becoming involved, please let us know. Or, you can report this anonymously to Crimestoppers www.crimestoppers-org.uk. Information for children and young people can be found here Give information about crime 100% anonymously | Fearless | Crimestoppers (crimestoppers-uk.org)
