There is no place for knives in our schools.

Officers from The Local Policing Team based at Southport Police Station have been visiting high schools across Southport and Formby this week to engage with students and reinforce this.

Today, students from Range High School, Formby are also sending out that message.Local Policing Team officers have been delivering an intense knife crime programme to the students and they have responded by drawing this fabulous painting and engaging in many other anti-knife crime initiatives within school sending out the message that they are wholly against knife crime.
