Taking a stand against knife crime together

Taking a stand against knife crime together

Dear East Putney residents,

Monday 16th November marks the start of knife crime awareness week (also known as Sceptre). This is a week for all of us - families, businesses, and local authorities - to take a stand and show that knife crime is preventable.

Parents, find helpful resources at https://benkinsella.org.uk/knife-crime-training-for-parents-and-carers/ 

While the police will be increasing activity to investigate and deter crime in our neighbourhoods, you can play a vital part in keeping our streets safe. If you have a knife you shouldn’t have, or know of one that needs to be removed, please use one of the many amnesty bins located across London. It’s a safe, anonymous way to make a difference.

Find your nearest bin - https://www.word4weapons.co.uk/knife-bin-locations/

If you would like to report a crime call 101, in an emergency always call 999. If you would like to report online, click on this link: https://www.met.police.uk/ro/report

Kind regards,

East Putney Safer Neighbourhoods Team
