We're supporting Sceptre this week (Monday 17 November to Friday 21 November 2025), joining Bedfordshire Police in a national effort to raise awareness of the dangers of carrying a knife.
We joined forces with Bedfordshire Police and other partner agencies at the end of May to support Operation Sceptre, a national campaign aimed at tackling knife crime and keeping communities safe.
Prior to celebrating Firework Night, our Trading Standards team will conduct visits to firework retailers across the region. Their aim is to prevent dangerous fireworks being sold to the public.
Weapon sweeps, speed checks, parking enforcement and property protection advice were just some of the activities at the latest Community Action Day in Toddington.
Our Community Safety Team supported Bedfordshire Police with Operation Sceptre last week (15 to 19 May) – a dedicated week of action to raise awareness of the dangers of knife crime.
