Knife Crime Awareness Week |
||||
|
This week for Knife Crime Awareness Week, Penlan Neighbourhood Policing Team have been carrying out knife sweeps in areas that are hotspots for anti-social behaviour.
Knife crime can destroy lives and fracture communities and disproportionately blights the lives of the young and disadvantaged. Incidents have risen in recent years and tackling knife crime is one of policing’s top priorities. Knife crime – a problem solving guide has been produced in collaboration with the National Police Chiefs' Council and through consultation with 24 police forces and violence reduction units in England and Wales. Using a problem-solving approach to tackling the issue, the guide contains: broad approaches that are effective in tackling knife crime, including good practice from across the UK. a practical toolkit of tactics to use, such as interventions in schools, weapon sweeps and focused deterrence advice on how to use data to tailor a response to local problems. If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.south-wales.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101. Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
