Weekly round-up from your local Neighbourhood Team

Dear Residents and Local Businesses,

This is your weekly update from St Michael's Team 1

This week, the Neighbourhood Policing Team has continued to work proactively across the area to engage with the community, tackle crime, and provide reassurance to residents.

Community Engagement

Officers and PCSOs carried out several community engagement activities throughout the week, speaking with residents, local businesses, and partner agencies. These conversations help us understand local concerns, gather community intelligence, and provide crime prevention advice.

Bike Marking Event in partnership with Coventry City Council and Dr. Bike

The team attended a bike marking event aimed at helping protect bicycles from theft. Public were able to have their bicycles security marked and receive advice on crime prevention and secure storage. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the event.

Positive Drug Seizure

Following proactive policing activity, officers conducted a search which resulted in the seizure of suspected controlled drugs. Enquiries are ongoing. We remain committed to tackling drug-related crime and the harm it causes within our communities.

Joint Patrols with the Safer Travel Team

Neighbourhood officers and PCSOs conducted joint patrols with the Safer Travel Team at key transport locations. These patrols focused on providing reassurance to the public, addressing anti-social behaviour, and engaging with commuters and transport staff.

High-Visibility Patrols

The team carried out regular high-visibility patrols across the neighbourhood, focusing on areas highlighted by residents and local intelligence. These patrols provide reassurance, deter criminal activity, and allow officers to engage directly with members of the community.

If you see us out on patrol, please stop and speak to us. Your information and feedback help us identify local issues and keep our communities safe.

It’s time to get summer-ready and secure your home, vehicles, and valuables – double checking your windows and doors are locked is key. Never leave your car unattended, running with the AC on, and valuables on show.  

Over the summer, you will see more officers out in our towns and cities, but there are also ways you can help keep your community safe. 

Your CCTV helps us solve real crimes. We are urging local businesses, residents, and community groups to sign up to our CCTV registry online: CCTV Registry | West Midlands Police. It only takes five minutes and can help us bring more opportunistic burglars and thieves to justice. 

You can report suspicious activity around vehicles and homes, online via Live Chat, through 101, and anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111
