Knife crime is on the rise with the office of national statistics showing an increase of 43% to 57 incidents in 2018-19 within London alone. Sadly these incidents cost lives, prompting the City of London Police with the support of The Daniel Baird Foundation to install bleed control kits in the financial district’s pubs and clubs. These kits contain simple to apply trauma items that can be used to treat a potentially life threatening stab or gunshot wound.
