Aiming for a cut in knife crime

17 May 2007
POLICE chiefs are aiming for a massive ten per cent reduction in the borough's knife-point robbery by the end of the month.

Senior officers announced a number of tactics with threats of criminal records and anti-social behaviour orders to take offensive weapons off the streets at the launch of a major initiative, last Tuesday.

Operation Blunt - which targets offensive weapon carriers and vendors - is running for an intensive three-week period across Barking and Dagenham.

Borough statistics show an average of almost one knife-enabled crime a day in the past year alone - which account for 40 per cent of all street robberies.

Detective Chief Inspector Ellie O'Connor told the POST: "We are not a high crime-figure borough but as a force we have a zero tolerance policy against knives.

"And we will carry on with a zero tolerance policy until there isn't a single weapon left - one knife is one too many."

She added: "In this three-week period, we hope to achieve a reduction of knife-enabled robbery - that is with use of or threats of a knife - by ten per cent."

The primary target of the operation is men aged between 12 and 22 years, but few stones will remain unturned.

Incentives manned by the Met Police, the British Transport Police and the council-run Parks Police include car spot-checks; stop-and-searches around shopping areas and transport hubs; and checking licensed premises to make certain they are not selling to underage people.

Moreover, increased powers to head teachers - who can order searches on a reasonably strong hunch - will be coupled with schools officers who will dispense advice and order.

Superintendent Gerry Leitch said: "The key message is clear: don't think you can come into Barking and Dagenham carrying a weapon, because we will catch you and prosecute you and we could give you an ASBO to ban you from coming into the borough.

"And if you carry a knife, you do so at your own risk - not least because it provides a ready made weapon for somebody to use against you."

Supt Leitch also reassured the POST that the work does not stop at Operation Blunt.

He said: "We will be plugging it throughout the year and continue driving the messages of prevention within schools, colleges, area forums and faith groups, with the help of the Youth Offending Team.

"And we've already set in motion some very powerful incentives like the pledge walls at various schools, including Robert Clack, Gosfield Road, Dagenham, where young people sign a pledge not to carry weaponry or get involved in violence."

He added: "Barking and Dagenham is in the top eight safest boroughs in London and our intention is to continue to make it safe for all our residents and all the people who visit."

Anyone who wants to report someone who is carrying a weapon should contact the Priority Crime Task Force on (020) 8217 7731 or Crimestoppers anonymously on (0800) 555 111.

[Nikki]

lol at my boss having a myspace and I didn't add him yet.

 

[Astrum]

dis is me

Is that a Burzum shirt? If it says Misanthropy Records on the back, then I have the EXACT SAME one. Yup.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

I am back from the surgery

straight after surgery for about an hour period, I felt like I had the worst hangover of my life.

anyways I am wearing this vest and have this icepack over the pecs, no real pain or discomfort to speak off

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

What's up with the vest?

 

[Astrum]

Sweet!

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

What's up with the vest?

compression vest to ensure recovery.

feels like a sore chest right after a really intense workout, outside of that no discomfort at all.

I can't wait to take off the vest in about a month.

 

[Astrum]

A month? Straight? holy shit.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

ya I gotta wear it everyday for about a month

it's all good though, a minor inconveniece for a great reward. I finished my finals stuff yesterday as well and I am taking monday off from work

just get to relax for about 4 days straight. Already excited for the new episode of the sopranos!

doesn't it seem like the soprano writers are working overly hard to ensure that all the loose ends are tied?

I wonder what will happen at the end (phil and tony both die as AJ gets into the mob?)

that girl in the episode was so fucking hot, I am off to try to find pics of her

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

Ir's pretty obvious that the shit is going to hit the fan between Tony and Phil and it will probably end with Tony being killed or arrested. They already seem to be working on AJ getting into serious crime. This season of The Soptanos has been ok, at best. Shitty way for the show to go out, if you ask me.

Now, Lost, on the other hand, is just finishing up a fucking great season. The first half was pretty blah, but it was also pretty necessary. The second half has been fucking great (except for the Nikki and Paulo episode... which was still pretty cool). I just hope Locke doesn't die. He's by far the best character in the whole show.

No it doesn't say Misanthropy Records on the back. The one I'm sporting is the Hvis Lyset Tar Oss one (dopest album ever btw).

aaahh! don't ruin sopranos for me I haven't watched it yet!
