#Sceptre | This week officers across the force will be intensifying efforts to reducing knife crime and getting weapons off the streets. You can help us do this.
How you can help reduce knife crime in your area…
If you see something suspicious or know of any gang activity, get in touch today 📲 Report a crime | West Midlands Police
You can report anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or visit https://crimestoppers-uk.org/give-information
Talk to your child or young people about the dangers of carrying a knife. Carrying a knife for protection is not a valid reason for the police. It actually means you’re 51 per cent more likely to have it used against you. Visit 📲 https://lifeorknife.west-midlands.police.uk/
Dispose of old knives correctly. Wrap them in puncture proof plastic or cardboard. You can hand them in to your local police station, place them in a weapon surrender bin, or even pop them in your refuse bin wrapped securely and labelled ‘Caution: Sharp’. You can find your nearest weapon surrender bin here 📲 https://bit.ly/3MaQAQH
