Ben Everitt, the MP for Milton Keynes North, was joined by Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Barber and Inspector Brace for a discussion about knife crime in Milton Keynes on Friday morning (25/02).
On a neighbourhood walkabout in Oldbrook they spoke about the increase of police patrols on the streets of MK, the importance of Section 60 stop and searches and potential solutions to knife crime.
While on the walk they spotted officers from the Mounted Section who were on a patrol through Oldbrook and into Leadenhall and caught up with them for a conversation about local policing.
Ben said: "I was horrified by the recent murder in Milton Keynes and am determined to ensure we are doing everything we can to crack down on knife crime and ensure everybody in Milton Keynes can feel safe on our streets.
"I want to thank Matthew and Inspector Brace for joining me for a productive discussion on local knife crime and we will continue to work together closely in the future."
Ben is also currently running a survey to listen to Milton Keynes residents' views on crime across the city, which you can fill out below.
