Knife Crime Awareness
As part of our Knife Crime Awareness Week, Greater Manchester Police officers attended Woodhey High School, in Bury, on Wednesday, 10 May 2017.
Officers gave a presentation to the pupils on the dangers and consequences of carrying a knife.
Pupils were also informed of the 'joint enterprise' law. 'Joint enterprise' is when even if it's not you carrying the knife, if you're with someone who uses a weapon to injure or kill, you too could be prosecuted and sentenced.
Officers also stressed that if pupils had any concerns on knife crime, they could speak to their teachers, call GMP on 101, or call Child Line on 0800 1111.

You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
