Fund more, newly designed knife banks outside every police station

What the petition asks
I want a newly designed knife bank outside every police station. I think it should be designed to accommodate the large machete type zombie blades that is on our streets, not the small post box type knife bank that you find outside some police stations
People are clearly using knife banks already but they are out dated and not enough of them available to the public. Knife crime is a serious issue, so I think a knife bank outside a police station should be standard practice. I think the few knife banks available are a hazard and allow those knives to be easily accessible.
