Stafford: Staffordshire Smart Alert - under age vape sales in Stafford
Officers from Stafford Neighbourhood Policing Team have been working with Trading Standards and Stafford Borough Council in order to deal with the ongoing issues with sale of vaping products to minors. Vaping products, like other tobacco products, can only be sold to over 18s.
We have recently made an arrest in relation to this and seized a large quantity of vape pens believed not to conform to UK standards. Enquiries are still ongoing in to this and we would encourage anybody with concerns about the sale of any vape or tobacco products to underage children to contact Staffordshire Police on 101.
Police are hoping that tackling the sale of vapes to under 18s will also help reduce the associated antisocial behaviour in the vicinity of these locations and litter caused by packaging not being disposed of properly.

Stafford: Police Smart Alert - we need your help to encourage young people to Ditch the Blade
99% of young people aged 10 to 29 don’t carry knives, so it’s not a common thing.
Even though it’s not common we know that some young people choose to carry because they perceive that others are too, or because they feel pressure to do so. By coming together with our partners through the Ditch the Blade campaign, we aim to dispel these myths, educate young people on the reality of knife crime and offer support to anyone who may be feeling pressured to carry.
Over the next couple of weeks you may see increased coverage about how we tackle knife crime through our promotion of the Ditch the Blade campaign. By choosing to carry a knife young people put themselves in greater danger as their knife could be used against them and they also face a possible criminal record for carrying it.
Work to educate, inform and enforce on this topic happens every day, by highlighting this topic over the next couple of weeks we hope to encourage conversations in the community, to empower our young people to make the right choice and realise that carrying a knife is not a normal or acceptable thing to do.
If you have a young person in your family you can find advice on how to discuss the topic together, as well as links to support organisations, on our website: https://www.staffordshire.police.uk/police-forces/staffordshire-police/areas/staffordshire-police/campaigns/2021/ditchtheblade/
