Resident As part of the national Operation Sceptre knife crime week of action, Mon 16th November to Sun 22nd November 2026, we are highlighting the work we do year-round to tackle knife crime.
A major part of this campaign is the knife amnesty, knife sweeps, educational inputs and activities along with further more targeted action. We highly encourage anyone with unwanted knives to hand them in to us this week.
You may have old knives which you don’t use any more, or you may have had a knife that was legal to own privately but, under the updated Offensive Weapons Act, this is no longer the case.
Whatever the reason, hand them at one of the following events, they will be safely disposed of – which could be vital in preventing them from getting into the wrong hands.
Tues 17th Nov 10-11am Knife Amnesty - Street Meet Holmesfield Village hall car park Vicarage Close Holmesfield
Fri 20th Nov 2pm to 4pm Community Catch up/ Knife Amnesty Dronfield Sports Centre Dronfield Civic Centre
Sat 21st Nov 1.30pm - 3pm Knife Amnesty / Street Meet Dronfield Civic Centre (In front of Dronfield Sports Centre)
Sun 22nd Nov 3pm to 4pm Knife Amnesty Street Meet - Pentland Road Car Park
If you are unable to attend any of the above or want to chat to the team email Dronfield.neighbourhood@derbyshire.police.uk
