star this property answer text <p>The number of incidents of weapon finds in prisons in England and Wales is published in the HMPPS Annual Digest through the <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64c144711e10bf000e17cf9f/8.__Finds_incidents_data_tool.xlsx" target="_blank">Finds Incidents Data Tool</a>.</p><p>The figures include incidents occurring within escort areas. These figures represent the number of incidents where weapons were found - multiple weapons can be found and recorded as one incident.</p><p>Weapons drive violence, undermine safety and security and have no place in our prisons.</p><p>Our £100 million Security Investment Programme, aimed at reducing crime in prisons, including reducing the smuggling of illicit items such as weapons, was completed in March 2022. This investment delivered 75 additional X-ray body scanners resulting in full coverage across the closed adult male estate. As of October 2023, we have recorded 46,925 positive indications, helping to tackle the smuggling of weapons and other illicit items into prisons. The investment also funded Enhanced Gate Security at 42 high-risk sites, enhancing our routine searching of staff and visitors. 84 X-ray baggage scanners have also been installed at 49 sites to further strengthen our ability to detect the smuggling of illicit items including weapons.</p><p>In January this year, we introduced Restricted Fly Zones around prisons to disrupt illegal drone use. This strengthens our ability to intercept illicit items, such as weapons, being smuggled via drones, and enables the police to fine or prosecute those seeking to undermine prison security.</p>
