Local Policing Areas
The force is divided into seven Local Policing Areas (LPAs), each headed by a Chief Superintendent, who is responsible for the overall policing and management of the area.
The seven LPAs are policed by local policing area teams. Each team contains police officers, police community support officers and special constables.
Our local policing model ensures we have dedicated officers working locally in our communities across the West Midlands.
This model serves communities across seven policing areas:
- Birmingham
- Coventry
- Dudley
- Sandwell
- Solihull
- Walsall
- Wolverhampton
