Tackling knife crime

Knife-crime, particularly among young people, is a high priority for the MPS. As part of our commitment to drive out knife crime, operations are being carried out across London using a wide range of tactics.

In support of this work, the MPS has also launched advertising campaigns to deter young people carrying knives in the first place.
