Today marks the start of Sceptre, a week where you’ll see police forces across the country working to tackle knife crime.
While Police efforts to get knives off the streets of Bedfordshire take place all year round, Sceptre is an opportunity for us to showcase this activity.
But it isn’t just about police enforcement.
It’s about us all coming together to take a stand against knife crime by reporting information, surrendering weapons and helping us raise awareness of the devastating impact it has on our communities.
Knife crime shatters lives, traumatises families and disproportionately robs young people of their future.
Our plea to you this week is to #JustDropIt. You can watch Ashish’s story and access more resources.
