The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has announced a new £900,000 City Hall investment to extend his GPS tagging pilot programme which is working to keep Londoners safe by tagging knife crime and domestic abuse offenders who have been released from prison.
The innovative £4.5m scheme works by those who have served custodial sentences for knife crime offences, such as being in possession of a knife, robbery, aggravated burglary and GBH, as well as domestic abuse offenders being fitted with a GPS tracking device, which is issued under strict licence conditions.
