A third section 60 order granting police enhanced stop-and-search powers will be in force in parts of Toxteth from 3pm today, which will stay in place until 4am Tuesday.
This follows a section 60 order being put in place in parts of Birkenhead at the weekend after two houses and a car were shot at.
The Toxteth order comes in following a brutal night of violence earlier this month.
A section 60 order gives police officers enhanced stop-and-search powers to target males between 14-50 in a specified location for a set period of time.
Merseyside Police say the order "is specifically designed to minimise serious violence in the area."
The third order in Toxteth comes after emergency services were called to Carter Street at 9.54pm on Saturday April 4 after a 19-year-old was left fighting for his life following a stabbing.
The teen had been stabbed multiple times in the head and chest.
On the same evening, Merseyside Police received a report of a shooting in nearby Gwent Street.
A 20-year-old man attended hospital with a gunshot wound to his hip a short time later. He was shot with a handgun.
Twenty minutes later, the force was informed paramedics were treating a 17-year-old boy for a wound to his buttocks on Hatherley Close.
It has since emerged his injury was caused by a blast from a handgun.
Police raided homes in Liverpool and Prescot and several arrests were made.
All three victims have now been discharged from hospital and "enquiries are ongoing".
A section 60 order was placed on an area of Birkenhead at 5pm on Saturday after officers arrested two men aged 32 and 34, both from the Birkenhead area "on suspicion of possession of a firearm".
This followed reports of gunshots being fired at two houses on Beachwood Drive and a car on Crutchley Avenue.
There were no reports of any injuries.
Community Policing Chief Inspector Paul Holden said: "An investigation is ongoing after shots were fired in Prenton last night [Friday 10 April] and officers remain in the area today to carry out enquiries and speak to witnesses.
"We will not tolerate the use of guns on our streets and we are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident, has any information, CCTV or dashcam footage, to please get in touch so we can act upon it."
An investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact @MerPolCC quoting ref. 20000211168 or @CrimestoppersUK, anonymously on 0800 555 111.
