Essex Police – Braintree District joined us again this morning as part of National Knife Crime Awareness Week.
Whilst we don’t have a knife crime problem in #Witham or any other areas in our district, it’s still important to spread the message and give people information about how to dispose of knives and to show the equipment used to keep us safe.
Good fun was had going through the knife arch, there was no fooling it either 
and lots of people learned more about how it worked.
and lots of people learned more about how it worked.We also were delighted to welcome, the Home Secretary, Rt Hon Priti Patel MP, who was with us to give her support of the event.
