Police in Peterborough focussing on tackling knife crime
It follows a summit on the issue in Downing Street
Police in Peterborough have told they're determined to crack down on knife crime across the area.
It comes after the Government pledged to do more to address issues such as reducing the online sale of dangerous weapons.
Their project hopes to halve knife crime in the next ten years.
We've spoken to Karl Secker who's responsible for tackling the problem in the Cambridgeshire force.
They've raised the profile of knife crime and the problem it is for society
He told us: "It's fantastic that the Government is now starting to look at this a little bit more in depth."
"They want to drop knife crime."
"Getting people like Idris Elba involved - who has a ten year old himself.
"They've raised the profile of knife crime and the problem it is for society."
"Every Government has said they want to reduce knife crime and it's just a case of targeting our resources towards that."
"Knife crime is a bad thing - you don't need to carry knives."
That's fantastic they're highlighting this
"There are consequences if you do - unfortunately the consequences are likely to be with the person's that's carrying the knife and you're likely to get hurt somehow."
"Knife crime and carrying knives on the streets is not the way to go and is likely to get you a criminal record."
"It can stop you doing so many things like travelling when you're older - going on holiday getting certain job roles - that sort of stuff."
"That's fantastic they're highlighting this - I'm keen to see their plans moving forward."
"L'd love to work with them on it - I think every force would do."
