Weekly Crime Update

Good evening, all,

We hope you are doing well. Welcome to this week’s Weekly Crime update. A quick rundown of what your local Neighbourhood officers have been up to. This is not an extensive list of all our activity but highlights some of the work you may be interested in.

Officers attended Hamd House Nursery to visit the children, all of whom were able to have a look in our police van and experience the police lights and sirens for themselves. We had lots of happy faces! We also visited the second site our on patch on St Oswalds Road. The children really enjoyed asking PC Johnson and PC Sutheran lots of questions.

We have spent some time at Heartlands hospital patrolling the grounds after reports of beggars and anti-social behaviour at the location.

Designated Neighbourhood officers held a meeting at Saltley Wellbeing Centre with local councillors, Midlands Heart and residents regarding anti-social behaviour and concerning issues.

We visited Ideal Village Park after reports of rough sleepers; two males were located and stop searched at the location and moved on.

PC Stringer visited Alston Primary School and delivered a assembly with Year 6 on making the Right Choices. A significant lesson as this week marks the end of the academic year, beginning of the summer holidays and the start of their transition to secondary school.

Designated Neighbourhood officers have paid frequent visits to local businesses in Bordesley Green, offering advice and support around emerging issues.

In addition, we visited Pitch2Progress this week and met some of the young people who were there. They have a fantastic space and lots of plans over the summer holidays for children. Check them out if you are struggling to think of things to do with your children! https://pitch2progress.co.uk/

We were made aware that travellers were on Batchelors Farm Recreational ground. Officers visited the site and contact was made to relevant Birmingham City Council department, and it appears they have now left the site.

We have assisted out colleagues in Alum Rock after the recent incidents in the area. We have conducted visible patrols whilst engaging with residents and members of the public.

In this section of the Weekly Crime update, we list some of the crimes of note that may be on particular interest to residents.

As reiterated above, this week marks the end of the academic year for most and the start of a long six-week break. It is natural for children to be spending more time outdoors enjoying the warm weather. Parents, please ensure you are aware of your children’s whereabouts during the summer holidays. Parents and carers are encouraged to talk to children about staying safe when out with friends. They should let a trusted adult know where they are, who they are with and what time they expect to be home. Encourage them to keep their mobile phone charged and to contact a trusted adult if their plans change.

Children should be reminded not to enter open water such as rivers, lakes quarries or reservoirs as these can be extremely dangerous.

When cycling or using scooters, children should wear a properly fitted helmet and use lights and reflective clothing if out later in the evening. Road safety remains important throughout the summer holidays. So ensure you cross at safe places and avoid distractions such as mobile phones.

Young people should be respectful of local communities and avoid behaviour that could cause harassment, alarm and distress to others. Anti-social behaviour can have a significant impact on residents and may result in police action.

Upcoming Events:

We will be at Saltley Wellbeing Centre on Monday 20th 9am until 11am in the Reception area. Come along if you are free and have a chat with your local Neighbourhood officers.

Thursday 23rd July we will be at the Khidmat Centre on Heather Road to discuss issues in and around that area of the patch. We will be there 7pm until 9pm.

Cuppa with a Copper will be on 29th July at 0930am at St Pauls Church.
