Op Hercules – Car cruising across Nechells and wider Local Policing Area (LPA)

The Nechells Neighbourhood Policing Team is collaborating with the Force Traffic Unit and the Roads Harm Reduction Unit to address this issue. We are adopting a pragmatic, intelligence-led approach focused on gathering information and data to guide our efforts.

West Midlands Police have invested in preventing road harm with the use of more digital speed guns and other resources to support road safety and prevent road harm within the Nechells ward.

Serious Youth Violence - Specifically targeting robberies and knife related crime.

The Nechells Ward continue to provide an overall reduction in Serious Youth Violence. There are targeted patrols through Op Guardian that support this work and are continued throughout the year.

Vehicle Crime - Theft of Motor Vehicle, Theft from Motor Vehicle and Car Cannibalism

The Nechells NHT are engaged with multiple work streams across the community that are designed to reduce the level of vehicle crime.

The team have been in communities, including the Nechells Green area, handing out crime prevention material and devices.

Nechells NHT have understood the seasonal climate change and as such have collaborated with internal departments to recognise patterns of crime and ensure we have police in the right areas at peak times to counteract any potential crime.
Vehicle crime, remains a priority locally and the NHT will ensure plans are in place to reduce and minimise this crime type.

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB)

ASB is a growing concern in our local area, impacting the residents quality of life. As a local policing team we acknowledge these ongoing issues and are taking proactive measures through increased patrols alongside local councillors and partner agencies.

We therefore encourage members of the public to report all incidents to identify patterns of behaviour, ensuring every issue is addressed accordingly to create a safer environment and improve our community.

The local team continue to provide patrols in areas that are being heavily impacted. We receive multiple calls for service with ASB type incidents, the development of the local action teams have been helping to respond to calls for service and ensure any crimes identified are investigated thoroughly.
