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:

    Robbery is a key priority for our local officers, and ensuring that the City Centre is a safe environment for everyone motivates them.

    Issued 16 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Local officers including our Op Taurus Team are actively engaged in a number of overt and covert policing operations.
    Utilising such skills as Servator; and working under the operation name ICEFORGE. They deploy on a daily basis in key locations.
    We are further supported by our colleagues from the CID Robbery Team who are key stakeholders to ensure that our operational activities are driven through the criminal justice processes achieving the best outcome for the public.

    This is ongoing.

    Actioned 15 May 2026

  • Priority:

    Community members, businesses and key-stake holders have all reported on-going concerns in relation to Anti-Social Behaviour linked to the street community. Anti-Social Behaviour has many forms in the City Centre; from street drinking, drug use, homelessness, illegal use of e-bikes, illegal street vendors and begging.

    It has been agreed at the Partner Action Group this will be the main priority for Birmingham City Centre partners to tackle.

    Issued 12 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Operation Oceanlight and Operation Galanthus are two multi-agency operations in place to focus of reducing ASB linked, in the City Centre, linked to the street community.

    The are several strands to the operations involving multi-agency patrols on a daily basis, in targeted areas, an increase in the use of civil injunctions and exercising powers under PSPO legislation.

    WMP, Birmingham City Council and other key partners will work closely with support workers to ensure the street community are supported, where appropriate.

    Actioned 15 May 2026

  • Priority:

    E-Bike and E-Scooter use in the City Centre puts the public at harm due to the excessive speeds and dangerous riding.
    Partners and local businesses have reported the increasing use of E-bikes and E-Scooters in heavily pedestrianised areas is putting members of the public at risk of harm.

    Issued 16 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Operation Frislen has been launched to address this issue.

    Together with partners, we will be carrying out two education days where we will look to educate E-bike and E-scooter users in relation to the use and public safety.

    This will be followed by several enforcement days where we will seize illegal bikes and prosecute riders who contravene legislation.

    This work is ongoing.

    Actioned 15 May 2026

  • Priority:

    Violence against women and girls

    Issued 08 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Reduce violence against women and girls in Birmingham City Centre by proactively identifying and targeting predatory offenders, using Op Vigilant tactics and partnership working to prevent offending, increase feelings of safety, and improve victim confidence in reporting.’
