Provide your feedback today and help the NPCC tackle the supply and sale of knives that often fall into the wrong hands.
The recently appointed government have made clear their ambition to half knife crime over the next ten years as part of their Safer Streets Mission.
The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) knife crime working group has been established to formulate and deliver a strategy to combat knife crime. Tackling the supply and availability of dangerous knives and ensuring that legislation is still effectively equipped to tackle those engaged in knife crime is a key component of its work. You can read the full forward from Knife Crime Lead Stephen Clayman here.
By completing this short survey, you can put forward your views on reducing the availability of knives to those intent on causing harm, particularly through online sales, and help the NPCC put safeguards put in place.
The survey is not linked to any enforcement and can be answered anonymously, however the NPCC invite you to leave your contact details at the end of the survey if you wish to continue to be part of future focus groups and consultations should the opportunity arise.
