Police to get metal detectors

Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Huddersfield, England), Feb 18, 2008

POLICE are to be issued with portable airport-style metal detectors to help clamp down on knife crime under a new action plan being launched by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith today.

The Tackling Violence Action Plan will also include measures designed to prevent binge drinkers moving on to commit crimes of violence.

The plan comes amid concern about drunken violence on the streets as well as the rise in the use of knives.
