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.

We are also working with Walsall Council & Community Protection Team to address these issues.

    We are actively investigating the matter and are in the process of identifying the individuals involved. We have supported local residents in establishing a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme and will use this scheme to keep residents updated on the work we are doing to tackle these issues. We have also been keeping local people updated and reassured via our messaging service wmnow.
