Your local team
As your local neighbourhood police team, we work together with the community, local authority, and other partners to help keep you safe.
Our team is made up of police officers and dedicated Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). This includes a sergeant, dedicated local named officers, and Local Action Team officers. We are also supported by police teams, including response and investigation units, as well as other specialist colleagues, to help solve the crimes and problems that really matter to you.
Through our understanding of the calls we receive and our local community meetings, we agree with partners, community leaders, and residents on the key priorities for us to focus on in your area. Working in partnership, we aim to find long-term solutions to local problems while maintaining a wider focus on preventing crime and making communities safer.

Priority:
Anti-social behaviour
Action taken:
We want our neighbourhoods to be a safe place for everyone to live, work, visit and travel to. We know that sometimes this peace can be disturbed. Anti-social behaviour can include any behaviour or incident which causes alarm or distress. This can include issues such as repeated annoyance or nuisance behaviours, or deliberate intimidation. We will use a variety of tactics to prevent and deter these behaviours, and take enforcement action where appropriate.
The team are attending regular meetings with businesses as well as BID security in regards to ASB. Working with our partners we are able to tackle the ASB in Solihull thus making it an enjoyable place to visit.
With the summer holidays coming to an end we are pleased to say our calls to service for ASB in the Town Centre continued to be low, with the great work from Mell Square having their summer at Mell Square free activities running throughout August it's been a great place for youths to spend their time
