As part of Warrington Wolves' ongoing partnership with Cheshire Constabulary, we are proud to support Operation Sceptre this week (26^th April – 2^nd May) as we join forces to eradicate knife crime from Warrington.

While the number of knife crime incidents in Warrington is low, in comparison to other parts of the country, Warrington Police are committed to do everything they can to tackle serious violence by working closely with partner agencies and other organisations to ensure that the local community continues to feel safe.

In the lead up to Operation Sceptre, our award winning Warrington Wolves Foundation has placed Bleed Kits in all of the community Rugby League facilities (including The Halliwell Jones Stadium) around the town having received funding from the Police Crime Commissioner’s Safer Communities Fund. The funding will also be used to raise awareness of knife crime among young sports players and their families as well as providing first aid training alongside the PCSO’s.

Having grown up in Warrington, our very own Danny Walker will drive the campaign having put himself forward to be the Ambassador for the Foundation’s new Inspiring Futures project which aims to educate young people about positive life choices.

Warrington Police will be undertaking a range of activities this week including targeted operations, engagement and education to reassure young people they are safer not carrying knives, and to walk away from harm.
