Sceptre - Tackling Knife Crime Together

Dyfed-Powys Police is again joining forces with colleagues across the country to tackle knife crime as part of the national campaign Sceptre.

The biannual week of action runs from May 18th – 24th and gives members of the public the opportunity to dispose of unwanted knives at police counters across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys.

Amnesty bins across the force will be located at the following police stations:

This year, Sceptre is running concurrently with the Ben Kinsella Trusts’s Knife Crime Awareness Week. The Ben Kinsella Trust is an independent organisation that aims to tackle knife crime through educating young people, through hosting workshops and working with partner agencies and parents.

As well as amnesty bins available during Sceptre, recycling centres are a safe place to dispose of unused knives and blades. You can find your nearest recycling centre by checking the relevant local council website. Carmarthenshire County Council: https://www.carmarthenshire.gov.wales

Please report any concerns about knife crime all year round to the force by contacting us on 101, or 999 if there is an emergency or ongoing crime.
