Beginning in the calendar year 2015, can you please provide an up-to-date, month-by-month breakdown of: 1. The number of crimes, where the offence location is recorded as 'school', for the following offences: -Possess offensive weapon -Possess offensive weapon on school premises -Threaten with offensive weapon on school premises -Possess firearm etc with intent to endanger life -GBH Wounding. -Attempted murder/murder 2. The type of weapon used 3. The age and gender of the offenders and whether they were charged. 4. The name of the school, where possible Please see the attached document. It is important to note that the figures for sharp or bladed implement do not solely refer to knives. They also cover articles with a blade or point. This can include a piece of broken glass or bottle and also includes offences where threats are made to use a knife but no knife is actually seen. West Yorkshire Police takes a victim led approach to crime recording and we have made some good improvements as to how crime is recorded which is reflected in the consistent numbers across the 3 year period The number of people aged under 18 reported to be in possession of articles with a blade or point, or a knife has increased. Since this increase West Yorkshire Police have placed dedicated Safer Schools Officers who work in partnership with secondary schools across the county. As part of their role, Safer Schools Officers speak to young people about the dangers of carrying a knife and the potential consequences. The Force has also recently supported a national campaign around knife crime, which included enforcement activities such as weapon sweeps, test purchase operations and educational visits. West Yorkshire Police are committed to prosecuting anyone found to be possessing or using a knife or firearm. The work of our partners and community based projects is important, as is the vigilance of families who believe one of their relatives may carry weapons. Tackling it requires everyone to work together through a variety of approaches, from school inputs and awareness campaigns, to weapons surrenders which are always successful in taking weapons out of circulation, to actively targeting offenders. Please see the below link to details around weapon surrenders. https://www.westyorkshire.police.uk/HandInYourWeapons Offences at schools, 01/01/2015 to 28/02/2019 Notes Figures represent the number of crimes recorded during the period which: -
