Knife Arch Stockport Interchange

Knife Arch Stockport Interchange

Safer Business Action Week (SaBA Week) | Knife Crime Prevention Operation 

On Monday 9 November, between 08:00 and 10:00, PC FINCH and officers from the Town Centre Neighbourhood Policing Team conducted a knife arch operation at Stockport Interchange on Swaine Street as part of Safer Business Action Week (SaBA Week).

The operation involved both uniformed and plain-clothed officers working in and around the area to deter and detect those carrying knives or other offensive weapons that can be used to cause fear or harm.

As a result of the operation, officers were able to take positive action, including carrying out stop searches on individuals who actively avoided the knife arch.

It was encouraging to receive positive feedback from members of the public and local businesses, who welcomed the visible police presence in the town centre and our continued efforts to keep Stockport safe.
