Cheshire was one of just eight police forces across England and Wales to see a reduction in crime, latest figures show.
The Office for National Statistics showed a 3.9% reduction in overall crime in Cheshire in 2022-23 in contrast to the national average increase of 4.5%.
Cheshire Police have joined forces with not-for-profit organisation KnifeSavers as part of its approach to tackling knife crime in the county.

Dear Editor,
According to the Crewe 2022 Crime Scorecard:
Crewe is the most dangerous major town in Cheshire. Crime in Crewe is 48% higher than the regional crime rate in the North West. And crime in Crewe is 22% higher than the national crime rate.
Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire John Dwyer says he has submitted more bids to the Government’s Safer Streets Fund.
The bids are aimed at securing more funding for tackling crime and supporting victims in the county.
