RAPAID supports Cheshire Police with OP SCEPTRE

As part of Operation Sceptre, officers from Warrington police have given their support in the rollout of RAPAID bandages to taxi drivers throughout the town, designed to stem serious blood loss following a knife attack or serious accident.

The rollout in Warrington coincided with Cheshire Constabulary’s response to Operation Sceptre, the nationwide week of intensified action to reduce the impact of knife crime within our communities, with the Neighbourhood officers and Chief Inspector Neil Drum meeting the team and helping with the rollout of the kits over course of the morning’s operation.

Chief Inspector Neil Drum, of the Warrington Command Team, said:

“Knife crime is a key priority and Cheshire Police has an excellent history of partnership working. This distribution of emergency bandages to taxis across Warrington could be the difference in saving someone’s life.

“It was great to meet Charity founder Alex and his RAPAID team during their trip to Warrington to distribute these extremely important bandages to our local taxi drivers that are easy to use and store.

“The implementation of the RAPAID campaign is a welcome addition to a range of initiatives that we already have in place across our town designed to keep everyone who lives, works and visits Warrington safe.”
