Know when to say no. Picking up a gun or a knife always makes a situation worse never better. This is a new website from the Metropolitan Police where we aim to show you how real people can turn away from violent crime. If you've got ideas on how to help people to drop the weapons, then we would like to hear from you. You'll also find links to support networks and other organisations that can help.

If you have information about a crime, but feel unable to speak to the police, call Crimestoppers anonymously on:

RESPECT. YOU DON'T NEED A GUN TO GET IT

Trident, the Metropolitan Police partnership with London's black communities, has teamed up with MTV and influential black role models, to show how people like yourselves can turn away from gun crime and prove that there are other ways of getting respect.
