Morning Resident
support the local community during Ramadan through a combination of increased visibility, community engagement, and safety education. 1. Increased Visibility & Patrols Extra Patrols: Neighborhood teams provide a higher presence around mosques, community centres, and popular evening gathering spots to reassure residents and deter anti-social behavior. Late-Night Presence: Dedicated patrols often operate until early morning hours (e.g., 4:00 am) in high-activity areas like Coventry Road and Alum Rock Road to manage crowds and traffic. Specialist Support: Traffic officers are deployed to handle illegal parking, dangerous driving, and road blocks that can occur during busy evening periods.
2. Community Engagement Joint Walk-alongs: Officers conduct patrols alongside volunteers, faith leaders, and business owners to ensure street markets remain welcoming and safe. Faith Consultations: Local teams maintain regular contact with mosque leaders to quickly respond to community concerns and plan for major events like Chaand Raat and Eid. WMP Multi-Faith Team: The force hosts inclusive events and reflections, such as Eid celebrations, to foster interfaith dialogue and unity.
3. Safety & Prevention Advice Personal Safety Tips: WMP partners with organizations like Tell MAMA to offer advice on commuting safely, using well-lit routes, and staying alert when attending late-night prayers. Considerate Driving: The police actively encourage worshippers to "Drive Considerately," reminding them that traffic is heavier around Iftar and to watch for pedestrians. Reporting Hate Crime: The force promotes specialist reporting portals like Stop Hate WLV and holds surgeries at community hubs and mosques to make support more accessible.
4. Enforcement Operations Operation Belfrey / Op Betto: These specific operations target seasonal issues such as illegal street trading, noise complaints, and anti-social behavior to ensure a "peaceful and respectful" environment.
