Law Enforcement Amplifies Measures to Seize Concealed Weapons

Frontline officers are equipped with metal detecting wands to target knife carriers and seize concealed weapons.

The wands will not replace the requirement for a physical search but be used as a screening device available to officers already conducting a lawful and justified physical search of a person following their arrest.

We are committed to reducing crime and harm across Merseyside. #OpSceptre
