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.

    Sporadic reports are being received regarding drug dealing in the local area.

    Issued 07 October 2026

    Action taken:

    We have been tackling Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in and around the High Street. We also have the support of other teams, providing support for patrols when we are on rest days. We will continue to take a proactive stance towards the ASB issues.

    We will endeavour to include all hotspots in our patrol strategies to deter any ongoing issues. We are aware that the Halloween period, paired with darker evenings are approaching, and we will be responding to any issues that are brought to our attention.

    Patrols will take place around licenced premises to make sure rules are being adhered to in the run up to the festive period.

    Actioned 07 October 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.

    Off-road bikes have also been brought to our attention again within the local area.

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

    Issued 07 October 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.

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

    All hotspots for any emerging issues will be included in our patrol strategies accordingly. We are aware that the Halloween period, paired with darker evenings are approaching, and we will be responding to any issues that are brought to our attention.

    Actioned 07 October 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 spaces including Jubilee Park and Clayton Park.

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

    Issued 07 October 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 involved in some joint working along side the DMBC ASB team to identify any offenders, and identify locations where off-road bikes are being stored or coming from.

    As always, the Neighbourhood Team will include any emerging hotspot areas in their patrol strategies to build intelligence, and deter ongoing issues. We are aware that the Halloween period, paired with darker evenings are approaching, and we will be responding to any issues that are brought to our attention accordingly.

    Officers have also conducted a walkabout with Housing Officers and local Councillors within the community to speak with residents and listen to any concerns that they may have.

    Actioned 07 October 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 07 October 2026

    Action taken:

    We are still focusing on increasing patrols to help reduce the ASB issues in the area. 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 issue.

    The Dudley North Neighbourhood Team will work to include any emerging hotspots in our patrol strategies to prevent ongoing issues. We are aware that the Halloween period, paired with darker evenings are approaching, and we will be responding to any issues that are brought to our attention.
