After three stabbing deaths within days of each other in Birmingham last month, police in the city were granted increased stop and search powers.
West Midlands Police (WMP) were granted a Section 60 Order, meaning officers could stop and search anyone without even suspecting them of committing a crime.
As a result, the force arrested 30 people of the 400 they stopped - a strike rate of one in thirteen.
The increased stop and search powers were an immediate response to what the chief of WMP branded a "national emergency", adding that Section 60 Orders cannot solve the problem long term.
As WMP tackles the highest volume of knife crime it has seen in eight years, ITV News National Editor Allegra Stratton spent time with the force to see if the Section 60 response is making a difference.
