Current Priorities

Issue

Stechford Retail Park reducing crime and aggressive begging

Action

•3 dedicated PC’s and a PCSO who are investigating a number of live reports and bringing offenders to justice.

•So far in April 3 x persistent shoplifters arrested and remanded for a total of 15 shop thefts at Stechford Retail Park and nearby shops.

•Where offenders are local Birmingham City Council tenants, officers are sharing information with the council who may take action in respect of their tenancy.

•Business Watch now set up with local retailers, sharing CCTV images, the latest intel and hints and tips to maximise the chance of prosecution.

•A consistent approach to aggressive beggars across Police and retailers. Zero tolerance - Officers will engage and trying and address vulnerabilities in first instance, however, if offenders persist then look to enforcement.

•Retailers have been provided with ‘Retail Radios’ so offenders’ descriptions can be shared at speed.

Issue

Working with West Midlands Police colleagues and partners to make some of our busiest roads safer.

Action

Officers are increasing the number of pro laser speeding operations completed and listening to feedback from the community as to where they should be carried out.

We are actively promoting Community Speedwatch at community meetings, on WM Now and X.

Officers have started working with colleagues in West Midlands Police Traffic Department, carrying out joint patrols and are looking to further utilise the Road Harm Prevention Team - watch this space!

A Stechford NPT officer recently arrested a male from a moving off road motorbike. Certainly do not try this at home! Fortunately the officer did not incur any lasting injuries and is now back at work after a few days recuperating.

Officers have completed a pro-laser speeding operation on Audley Road but need to do more / sustain this activity.

Issue

Reduce vehicle crime.

Action

Stechford NPT are trying to have an impact in this area in addition to our other commitments.

In addition to designated patrols under Operation Guardian, officers are now completing regular foot patrols in small micro beats that will vary depending on the current threat. Officers are currently concentrating on Glebe Farm Road (and roads off) and Moat Lane / Yew Tree Lane (and roads off).

Regular patrols are completed in know vehicle deposition sites. When stolen vehicles are recovered any viable forensics leads are followed.
