Police response to increase in firearms discharges In 2020, the SYP Armed Crime Team launched in Sheffield and at the end of 2022, it was extended out to cover the whole force area. ACT was formed to deliver a strong and coordinated response to the threat of gun crime and had been successful in reducing the number of discharges reported. Over recent weeks, the numbers of firearms discharges being reported have increased, and SYP is taking a coordinated approach to find those responsible and bring them to justice, and

disrupt the activities of organised crime groups. Assistant Chief Constable Dave Hartley said: “Recently you may have seen more information on our channels about firearms discharges and how SYP is tackling them within each district of South Yorkshire. This is purposeful. “We are not looking to raise fear of crime within our communities, what we want to do is ensure you know what is actually happening in your area and to encourage you to work with us to tackle it. “We are clearly seeing far

too much of this type of criminality and it will not, and cannot be tolerated. While we will react swiftly to safeguard people at risk, and investigate these incidents, often what we lack to bring the offenders to justice is information – and we believe the community may hold it. “There is no doubt we will tackle this issue, and with every discharge we see, we will seek to flood the area with specialist officers, combing every inch of the crime scenes and working relentlessly to find those responsible. “What we don’t want to

see is innocent people being hurt, and we need to get to those involved before further discharges happen. If you know something, have any information no matter how trivial you think it may be, please get in touch. If you don’t feel comfortable talking directly to the police, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously – we will get that information and be able to act on it. “We are committed to tackling this and with your help, we will make sure that those involved

in armed criminality spend many years in custody to reflect on their mistakes.”

If you have any information to pass on to police you can contact us on 101, or if you would prefer not to speak to police or provide your personal details, you can pass information in confidence to independent charity Crimestoppers via their UK Contact Centre on freephone 0800 555 111 or by completing an online form at www. crimestoppers-uk.org.
