Ban everyone from carrying knives,blades and ceremonial knives
Introduce a clear policy banning knives of any kind, including religious or ceremonial blades. Everywhere should remain completely weapon free. (Knives for work purposes or hunting allowable with a licence)
Carrying of weapons for any reason needs to lead to prosecution, unless the person has a licence to carry one for work purposes or hunting. Ceremonial knives should never be carried.
