Have your say on anti - social behaviour in your community

Dear Resident

We're launching a new survey in partnership with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner to capture your thoughts and concerns about antisocial behaviour in your local community.  

We take antisocial behaviour seriously and it is at the core of our neighbourhood policing activity. We’ve developed a plan to reduce antisocial behaviour for 2026 onwards, and your views are central to helping this plan continue to grow and work effectively for our local communities.   
 
The survey will give you the opportunity to share your experiences and ideas to help ensure the plan reflects the needs of your community, and how well we are delivering a service for you.   

Antisocial behaviour can have a real impact on how safe people feel where they live. By taking part in the survey, you can help identify what matters most in your area and where action should be focused.  
 
Superintendent Simon Inglis, West Midlands Police lead for antisocial behaviour, said: “West Midlands Police take antisocial behaviour very seriously and we take positive, proactive activity every day, to tackle offenders and reduce it whenever and wherever it occurs. However, it is important that our approach is informed by you, the public who live, work and visit the West Midlands. 

“While we may know where and when it is occurring, we also need to know more about how it makes you feel, the impact it has on you and your family and how we can deal with it better.   
 
“We have created this short survey to capture your feedback which will inform our approach and ensure that your local experiences influence the service we provide.” 
 
Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster, said: “Antisocial behaviour is a blight on our communities and can have a devastating impact on the quality of life for residents. That is why preventing and reducing neighbourhood crime and ASB is a core priority within my Police and Crime Plan 2025–2029.” 

“Policing works best when it reflects the priorities of the people it serves. This survey is a vital opportunity for you to influence how we prevent and tackle these issues and ensure West Midlands Police are focused on what matters most to you. I urge everyone to have their say and help us shape a safer, more secure future for all.” 
 

The survey will be open throughout February, and everyone who lives, works, or spends time in the West Midlands is encouraged to take part.  

Feedback from the survey will directly inform the approach taken by West Midlands Police and partners to reduce and prevent antisocial behaviour moving forward.
