This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The police are operationally independent of the UK Government and Parliament, and it would be their decision to implement a special unit for knife crime. However we have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Launch a national public awareness campaign about knife crime

Minimum sentences and mandatory licensing for carrying a knife
