Drug dealing

Officers have been conducting patrols in known hotspot area. Officers are gathering information to act in the near future on individuals involved in drug dealing. 

Speeding and parking around our schools 

We are committed to being at our schools for start and finish times during our duty times to help tackle this issue. PCSO’s have been present at various schools in the area for these times and have moved on/educated a large number of drivers parking in obstructive and dangerous positions and will continue to do so. We are working with the local authority and will have civil enforcement Officers in company of Officers in the coming weeks to assist us in dealing with those who continue to put children and parents at risk parking in dangerous/obstructive positions. 

Patrols were conducted at St Josephs School , Darlaston with no issues to report, a big thank you to all the considerate drivers for their cooperation
