Dear Resident

Each year we hold a week of intensified work around knife crime which is a national initiative supported and co-ordinated by the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC).

Sceptre compliments existing work carried out by Hertfordshire Constabulary around knife crime throughout the year and is an opportunity to focus in on efforts to tackle knife crime at several levels – from engaging with young people in schools to proactive patrols, amnesty bins and knife sweeps.

As part of this work, we would be grateful if you could complete a survey to provide any information you may have, but also on how knife crime may affect you.

Thankfully, knife crime is still rare in Dacorum, but anything we can do to intervene and educate young people about the danger carrying knives, can and will make a difference.

During Operation Sceptre week people can hand in knives to designated bins at Hatfield, Stevenage and Watford or by contacting the police anonymously through Crimestoppers 0800 555 111 or on 101.

Thank you for you assistance.

Kind regards

Simon
