Ministry of Justice launches urgent safety crackdown after shocking knife attacks on probation officers in Preston.
Brace for Beefed-Up Security
After two savage stabbings rocked the probation service, ministers are ready to roll out tough new safety measures. The aim? To protect frontline workers from violent attacks.
Self-Defence and High-Tech Gear on the Cards
Leaked plans reveal probation officers could soon get self-defence training, bleed kits, and, for the first time ever, body-worn cameras. Some offices might trial knife arches and handheld metal detectors to sniff out weapons before face-to-face meetings.
This new gear promises to turn the tide on dangers faced by probation staff every day – and show zero tolerance for violence in the justice system.
