We hope you are all doing well. Welcome to this week’s ‘Weekly Crime Update’. This is a summary of all the work your local Neighbourhood officers have been up to these past 6 days. Although this is not an extensive list of all that has been done, it is to shine light on some the good work that you may be interested in hearing about.
We started on Sunday, where officers have been proactively patrolling the area; attending Anti-Social Behaviour hotspots. Officers have dealt with a few incidents where there were vehicles contravening red lights. The PCSOs have been visiting shops around the area, reassuring shop staff and having a visual presence. The PCSOs have been making visits to residents regarding parking concerns and ensuring the matter was resolved.
Throughout the week, officers have been continuing to proactively patrol the area; ensuring a visual presence. Officers have attended the Saltley Wellbeing Centre ‘Women Only’ session, ensuring your voices were heard and your concerns that were raised. They have also attended the Cuppa with a Copper session, noting your concerns. Officers have also conducted a warrant with trading standards.
Through the lead up to bonfire night, officers have continuously conducted patrols around the area and hotspots to ensure no fireworks were being let off; allowing for the safety of residents to be assured.
We have issued several tickets throughout this week for vehicles that are obstructing the highway, junctions and the pavement. The PCSOs have been patrolling, ensuring roads are safer and informing those obstructing the highway to park more sensibly.
Operation NEXO with the Birmingham Heartlands Hospital has been proceeding smoothly. There have been community engagements; promoting a stronger relationship of trust and confidence with crime reporting, which has been leading to positive outcomes. Alongside that, the trust to focus on tackling violence and aggression against staff, working to mitigate the risk and help keep people safer. Officers have been promoting WMNOW at Heartlands Hospital, ensuring the community could stay up-to date with ongoing neighbourhood work.

With bonfire night drawing closer, we are actively ensuring the restrictions for fireworks are maintained. Fireworks are not allowed to be let off in the streets as this poses a hazard and risk to people, and property.
Fireworks are illegal for under 18s, with rise in youth letting off fireworks illegally, it is best to stay educate and educate young ones. Parents should always be vigilant.
While fireworks are used to celebrate, it is important to remember to stay safe.
It is recommended to engage in displays carried out by professionals where it is proceeded in a safe manner; rather than handling fireworks at home to reduce risk of harm. Disposals of fireworks should be done in a safe manner. This involves allowing for the fireworks to cool down, putting the fireworks in a metal container filled with water. If you see anti-social use of fireworks, flares, smoke bombs in your local area; please call 101, or 999 if it’s an emergency.
With Halloween coming up, it is evident to stay safe. It is highly advised for parents to accompany their children and to stay within well-lit areas. If you feel something is not quite right, please contact 101, or 999 if it’s an emergency.
