All U.K nightclub doorways to have knife and gun detection arches by law.

Closed 106 signatures

What the petition asks

We have a major Knife crime problem in our UK cities right now. We want to make knife and gun detection arches compulsory by law at all night clubs controlled by security Industry Authority door supervisors, with stop and search rights on all that enter private and public drinking venues.
Many knife incidents occur in nightclubs, we as members of the public need more protection. The government along with the security Industry Authority (SIA) must apply a new law with the license holders of all night clubs in the UK that will see knife and gun detection arches become compulsory.
