Question

Following a tragic stabbing in Liskeard that resulted in the death of a young person, what specific actions are being taken to reduce knife-related crimes in both urban and rural areas?

Answer from Kit Malthouse

I extend my condolences to the bereaved family. The arrest has been made, and we await further investigation results. Devon and Cornwall police are receiving additional funding for 141 new officers next year as part of a broader plan to recruit 20,000 more police officers nationally. This investment aims to prevent such incidents.
