Hampshire Police are intensifying efforts to tackle knife crime as part of a national week of action which starts today. Operation Sceptre will look at key themes such as prevention and education and officers will carry out targeted operations alongside partner agencies.
Operation Sceptre brings a nationwide focus to knife crime and with coronavirus restrictions easing, it’s more important than ever that forces are brought together to remind the public that police are targeting serious violence. The week of action provides the police with the opportunity to build on existing activity, highlighting at a national level the key prevention and engagement work taking place locally.
