About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

Policing priorities

  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    Residents in the East Park area have raised to both the police and local authority that drug dealing is taking place in and around the perimeters of the park as well as incidents of serious youth violence.

    Issued 23 August 2026

    Action taken:

    The Neighbourhood Team have increased their patrols in the area and have had multiple positive outcomes in regards to drug dealing in the area. We have been increasing our patrols at relevant times and are seeing a reduction in those involved loitering.

    We have been informed of anti-social driving and riding in the area which appears to be a by-product of the drug dealing. Regular patrols are taking place along our parkland and open space areas. Bilston have recently conducted another operation with regards to the ASB riding. Resulting in 3 stolen bikes being seized and two suspects in custody. Officers will continue to disrupt those responsible, utilise their stop search powers and consider positive action.

    Actioned 23 August 2026

  • Priority:

    There have been reports of Anti Social Behaviour and off road vehicles on the grassed area of the Rocket Pool and along the canal. We are aware that the persons causing ASB are crossing into neighbouring areas, such as Tipton and Walsall.

    Issued 23 August 2026

    Action taken:

    The Neighbourhood Team have been working on identifying those riding anti-socially and have been regularly patrolling the canal network. This has had a positive effect of deterring most anti-social riding. We are aware of the change in peak times and are changing our patrol strategy to match this. This would not be possible without the intelligence being provided by the community and we ask that this is continued.

    We are aware of the inconsiderate and dangerous parking around the rocket pool which has exacerbated some of the anti-social riding. The patrols we have taken at a regular period have shown that the parking has improved. People have been approached and spoken to and are understanding the problems they are causing. We as your local team will be moving into an enforcement measure over the coming months for the repeat offenders.

    We have recently conducted our second day of action in the problematic areas , along with our force resource colleagues and this resulted in 3 stolen bikes , two males arrested and charged and other prosecutions to take place of those responsible.
    Patrol will still continue and officers will still use their stop search powers on those they believe are committing criminal offences.

    Actioned 23 August 2026

  • Priority:

    Bilston neighbourhood team and local authority still continue to receive reports of Anti Social Behaviour, thefts and drugs on Bilston High Street.

    Issued 23 August 2026

    Action taken:

    The team continue the hard work this month with multiple arrests for shoplifting offences over the past month. One high priority offender committing multiple offences and targeting businesses has been arrested and remanded in custody.
    We continue with our patrols disrupting any repeat offenders.

    We have meetings with our partners at the council and the BID in regards to anti-social behaviour. Offenders are being identified and dealt with due to this positive partner working arrangement.
    We are in the process of identifying any persistent offenders and taking positive action with the court process.

    We ask that if you see us on patrol in Bilston Town to talk to us, we would love to hear your thoughts on the problems and the positives for the Town so we can best serve you.
