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

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    Local Priority -Anti-social use of off road and road legal motorbikes in Dawberry Fields Park & Tunnel Lane . This is a continuing priority

    Issued 13 July 2026

    Action taken:

    We anticipate this issue rising in the coming months owing to the warmer weather and longer days. We are conducting patrols at key hot spot areas for off road bikes and will take appropriate action when vehicles are stopped.

    Dawberry Fields Park, Allens Croft Road is heavily patrolled and is a current hotpot area for Off Road motorbikes use.

    Patrols have taken place in key locations provided by the public such as Maurice Road and Taylor Road. This has led to reduced calls for service around this issue.

    If you have any information of where these bikes may be being stored - please let us know direct or through crimestoppers anonymously. Your information really will help.

    Patrols have been carried out in Kelverdale Grove, Danzy Grove, Tunnel Lane Park( off Shelfield Road) to deter this activity. We are also working with the community to identify these riders.
    As of 15th July 2026, and further to the above update, an address in the Kings Heath area has been identified where an Off Road Mini Moto is being used, and from this, further enquiries will now be made by the Police to establish if this is the case.

    As of 28th July 2026, positive feedback has been received from residents living in Tunnel lane, highlighting that Police presence has increased in the park, which has been welcomed by the residents.

    This is not an issue purely isolated to this area. Complaints regarding speed and poor parking outside the schools is a regular issue that we are dealing with by being present outside schools when it is drop/collection times when time permits. Encouraging the schools to issue warnings to parents around safety on a regular basis.

    Should this be affecting yourselves - please ensure the schools are aware, and let us know by email or phonecall.
    We have issued a letter to all secondary schools to be passed to parents in the area around illegal/inconsiderate parking. If you wish to have this for your childs school please get in touch.

    A new community Speedwatch group was set up in Kings Heath and will be active in the known hotspots over the coming months.

    As of 29/06/26,a resident In Brandwood Park Road received a ticket for causing an obstruction to public highway in the road. The resident was warned prior to the ticket be issued out that any further parking obstruction caused by them, will result in a ticket being issued.

One operation took place outside of a Primary School,and the other on a main arterial route in the area, from the time that Police were present, our Pro-Laser Speeding device measured that vehicles were travelling at less than 20MPH, and below the legal speed limit for these roads.
