Crime prevention drop-in surgeries have been held at Starbucks (within Sainsburys, Turners Lane) and, also Costa Coffee (off Stourbridge Ring Road). These drop-ins are successful in engaging with members of the local community and establishing concerns.

As schools have now broken up for the summer, end of school day patrols have been carried out around Amblecote schools.
