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:

    SEDGLEY:
    We are continuing to receive reports of Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) around the Sedgley area, which involves small groups of youths causing a general nuisance to members of the public. We have also had a number of reports of off-road bikes causing issues for pedestrians and road users.

    There have been a small number of reports of shoplifting around the town centre.

    There also appears to be an ongoing issue of speeding vehicles on the Northway, as we are seeing an increase of reports regarding this.

    Issued 03 July 2026

    Action taken:

    We have been tackling Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in and around the High Street. Co-operation from local businesses have proven to bring forth positive identification of offenders, allowing us to pursue warnings and beyond, should they be known/repeat offenders. We also have the support of other teams, providing support for patrols when we are on rest days. Dudley North Neighbourhood Team have been carrying out a number of plain clothes patrols around the area, in order to identify any offenders. We will continue to take a proactive stance towards the ASB issues.

    Community Speedwatch will also be utilised around the Sedgley area, in order to issues warnings to speeding motorists. A number of these have already been carried out and have been received well within the community.

    With the Summer months and lighter nights now upon us, we will see a rise in demand and calls for service, and we will endeavour to include all hotspots in our patrol strategies.

    Actioned 03 July 2026

  • Priority:

    UPPER GORNAL & WOODSETTON:
    There have been reports of youths causing Anti-Social Behaviour, and possible drug dealing in various parts of the Upper Gornal and Woodsetton ward.

    ASB is also being reported to us on the precinct area in Upper Gornal, and at McDonald's. Recently, it has been brought to our attention that there are a couple of females on The Arcade, who appear to be begging.

    Speeding vehicles have been reported on various main roads around the area, which are potentially causing dangerous driving conditions for other road users. Off-road bikes have also been brought to our attention again.

    There has also been an increase in reports of shoplifting in the local area.

    Issued 03 July 2026

    Action taken:

    Targeted patrols will continue in our hotspot areas in order to deter youths hanging around and causing ASB issues. We have been actively engaging with any youths seen out and about, and educating them to the issues that they are causing. Patrols will be continuing around the precinct area in order to alleviate any issues and to help us identify any individuals who may be causing a problem.

    Community Speedwatches will be taking place and drivers will be given warnings and/or educated regarding their actions.

    Increased patrols will be taking place around the local shops to prevent further shoplifting offences, as well as plain clothes operations. A number of shop lifting offenders have recently been arrested due to the Dudley North Neighbourhood Team taking a proactive stance against this issue.

    With the Summer months now upon us, we will see an increase in our demand and calls for service, so all hotspots for any emerging issues will be included in our patrol strategies accordingly.

    Actioned 03 July 2026

  • Priority:

    COSELEY:
    We are still receiving numerous reports about off-road bikes, which are causing Anti-Social Behaviour, and being a general nuisance for pedestrians and road users. They are causing issues around the open green spaces/park areas in the Coseley area.

    There have also been reports of drug use/dealing around Roseville, and Jubilee Park.

    We have received a number of calls about groups of youths being on the site of a building that is now derelict.

    Issued 03 July 2026

    Action taken:

    An increase in reports of Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) has lead to increased patrols around the Coseley area in order to monitor locations and move on anyone suspected to be causing ASB. Our presence will hopefully help to deter future problems. Officers are engaging with any youths that are seen out and about, and educating them about the issues that they are causing.

    We will hopefully be working along side the DMBC ASB team, and with their drone operator to potentially identify where off-road bikes are coming from.

    The lighter nights are now with us and this will potentially mean an increase in our demand and calls for service, so the Neighbourhood Team will include any emerging hotspot areas in their patrol strategies to hopefully prevent ongoing issues.

    Actioned 03 July 2026

  • Priority:

    LOWER GORNAL:
    We are still receiving numerous reports of Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in the Lower Gornal area, and this includes off-road bikes causing issues on the local park.

    There have also been an increased number of reports of shoplifting.

    We are still receiving reports regarding school parking, which is causing obstructions for other road users, and also speeding vehicles around various school sites.

    Issued 03 July 2026

    Action taken:

    We are still focusing on increasing patrols to help reduce the ASB issues in the area. We have also been working with the public and partner agencies to identify a number of the youths. We are actively engaging with any youths that we see out and about, and educating them about the problems that they are causing for the general public.

    Patrols are taking place around the local shops in order to prevent further shoplifting offences. A number of shop lifting offenders have been arrested recently as a result of the Dudley North Neighbourhood Team being proactive in the area.

    We are working with the parking enforcement team to enable a joint approach to the ongoing school parking issues. Community Speedwatches will also be taking place across the area and warnings issued accordingly. A number of Speedwatches have already been conducted and have been well received within the community.

    With the Summer months and lighter nights now upon us, this will bring an increase in our demand and calls for service, so the Dudley North Neighbourhood Team will work to include any emerging hotspots in our patrol strategies to prevent ongoing issues.
