Police officers from Milton Keynes Harm Reduction Unit have attended Walton High, Walnut Tree Campus as part of Operation Detect.
They were joined by Neighbourhood Officers and Police Community Support Officers for the initiative, which is focused on tackling knife crime in secondary schools through prevention and education.
Around 750 students walked through a screening arch monitored by officers.
A spokesperson said: “This wasn’t just about screening, it was about starting conversations. Students had the chance to speak directly with officers about the dangers of knife crime and learn valuable safety advice.
“Preventative work like this helps us keep our communities safe and reduce knife-enabled crime.”
Police praised Walton High for partnering with them for Operation Detect, and thanked the students for engaging so positively.
