We received a huge collection of knives and weapons from Staffordshire Police recently as their knife amnesty draw to a close.
They had nearly 20 knife amnesty bins stationed across the region and police headquarters in the counties biggest knife amnesty to date.
The force worked tirelessly throughout the month long amnesty to encourage members of the public to hand over weapons and rid the streets of Staffordshire of knife crime and violence.
 
Hundreds of weapons were brought back here to campaign headquarters to be included in the sculpture. We really want to thank the force for their support and helping us reach our target of 100,000 knives off the streets of the UK.

The force have today implemented a month long amnesty in a bid to make Staffordshire a safer place.
We have supplied bins to the force which will be placed across Staffordshire to encourage Knife surrenders by members of the public.

See this video of the police visit back in April which saw Darryl Laycock, an ex gang member who has turned his life around and now works with youngsters in preventing knife crime and violence.

Kelly Lawler, the mother of a victim of knife crime in Staffordshire also visited the centre to engrave a message for her son, Dion.
