Tackling retail crime in Willenhall Town Centre and across the wider Willenhall area.

We have been actively targeting shoplifters in Willenhall Town Centre and across the area. We have been targeting our patrols in the town centre and areas where these offences are occurring as well as working with local shops to identify offenders and provide appropriate crime prevention advice. Over the past month 5 shoplifters have been arrested and charged.

Tackling Darker Nights related crime, including the prevention of burglaries which historically increase as the days get darker earlier.

We have now launched our Darker Nights Campaign. This includes raising awareness of the seasonal crime types that typically increase as the days get darker earlier such as burglaries. We will be out & about over the next few weeks visiting vulnerable locations as well as educational visits and generally raising awareness of how people can keep themselves and their property safe and secure.

Tackling anti-social behaviour across Willenhall

We have been carrying out patrols regularly in the areas where we are aware of reports of ASB. We have identified a number of individuals who have been causing ASB, and working with Walsall Council they have been visited and given warning letters and appropriate advice. We have seen a reduction in the ASB around the area.We will continue to patrol and engage with businesses and residents.
