🔪 Operation Sceptre - 17th-23rd November 2025🔪

Op Sceptre is a national weeklong initiative to tackle knife and knife-enable crime. During this week, your Safer Neighbourhood Team will be out and about engaging with the public through different engagements like school engagements, where we work closely with schools to educate young people about the dangers of knife crime and explaining the consequences of carrying/using knives for the wrong purpose.

Also we will be conducting street meets, with the knife amnesty bin, which gives residents the opportunity to surrender any unwanted knives to help keep them off the streets and possibly falling into the wrong hands. We will also be visiting retailers speaking to workers ensuring that if they sell knives or bladed items they are using "Challenge 25" when necessary and displaying educational posters.
