Fighting Knife Crime London

04/07/2025

FKCL applauds this blitz on town-centre crime and antisocial behaviour. We all need to support police and local authorities in this effort. But this needs manpower, and full coordination to make this initiative effective, and to convince the rest of us that it is meaningful and more than temporary. If it proves its worth then it makes the case for greater investment in a more visible police presence all year round.

Over 500 town centres have signed up to the Home Secretary’s Safer Streets summer blitz that will see increased police patrols and local action .
