This highlights package explores key themes in modern policing, focusing on community engagement to combat knife crime, innovative CCTV operations in Thames Valley, the implications of facial recognition technology, and insights from the World Police Summit. The discussion highlights the importance of education, public safety, and the evolving role of technology in law enforcement.
 
On the subject of Knife Crime we heard from Asst Chief Constable Dennis Murray from Thames Valley Police at a community event that was aimed at raising awareness about knife crime, emphasizing the importance of education, youth engagement, and collaboration among various community stakeholders. Key speakers shared personal stories and insights on the emotional impact of knife crime, while also discussing preventative measures and the need for community cohesion to combat this issue effectively.
