Hello Resident,

✅ Good News from Your Local Policing Team ✅

Happy new year to everybody! We do hope you managed to spend some time with your family and friends to celebrate the new year. As we move into 2026, our priorities will continue to focus on our ASB hotspots, such as the bus interchange, our local parks, and anywhere else we are informed of by our community members. The team have been out and about on the patch this set, keeping an eye on our hotspots, providing reassurance to the local community, and keeping a visible presence around the area. Our officers have also been on the Chelmsley Wood town centre providing reassurance during the winter season as it gets busy. This set, our eagle-eyed officers have also spotted a motorbike stashed in an alleyway, and upon further research, it had been confirmed as stolen. Once this fact came to light, our officers had the motorbike seized! This is fantastic work by our officers!
