Gun crime

Tackling the illegal use of firearms in the eastern region is one of our top priorities.

We are committed to taking firearms, and the criminals who use them, off the streets to help make our communities safer.

We are work with national and international partners to capture the very best intelligence and conduct proactive investigations to target those people identified as being involved in the criminal use of firearms.

The most most effective resource we have available to tackle gun crime is support and information from the public.

Our best successes are often as a result of information from received from those living in the communities most affected.

If you know anything, whether it’s about a specific incident or about gun crime in general, please report it.

Your information can help to disrupt criminal activity and get guns off the streets within the eastern region, reducing the risk of firearms being used in violent offences in the communities that we live in.

If you know anything about guns, including who is using them or where they are being stored, call police on 101.
