Residential burglary

Residential burglary remains a top priority for our force, especially in Birmingham. Despite a significant 26% reduction in residential burglaries across the West Midlands, we understand the profound impact this crime has on individuals and communities.

To address this, we are working closely with our response and neighbourhood crime departments to ensure that every reported burglary is attended to promptly. We are committed to exploiting every opportunity to identify and prosecute offenders, ensuring justice for victims and enhancing community safety.

Antisocial behaviour and shoplifting

Antisocial behaviour significantly impacts both local residents and businesses. In Stockland Green, we are committed to working hard with local partner agencies to adopt a joined-up approach to tackle this issue effectively.

We will implement a dedicated patrol strategy to ensure increased police presence on the streets, fostering direct communication and engagement with the public. Additionally, we are focused on addressing the rise in shoplifting, which not only affects shopkeepers' businesses but also impacts customers through price increases.

Our team is dedicated to creating a safer and more secure environment for everyone in the community.

Theft from persons and Robbery

Theft from person and robbery are serious concerns for our communities. Last year, we experienced a spike in robberies, and as a team, we are determined to prevent a similar occurrence this year. Encouragingly, we have already seen a 16% reduction in robberies compared to this time last year, and we are committed to driving that number down even further.

We will be utilising a range of tactics to prevent these crimes from happening and to manage and apprehend those offenders who commit these offences. Our dedication to bringing robbery suspects to justice remains unwavering, and we are focused on ensuring the safety and security of our community members.
