Good Evening Resident

Let’s introduce you to our new Sgt, 

Welcome to the team Sgt 21411 Katherine Kitchen. Not new to the Chelmsley Wood area though having been a Solihull Response Sgt for the last couple of years.

Operation Advance returned to Solihull today, and we have tackled crime that you tell us matters most to our community. 

There have been extra police resources in place as part of our intensified day of activity in the borough, existing Solihull teams were bolstered with specialist units and officers from across the force. 

The Chelmsley Wood Neighbourhood Team are on a late shift tonight and we have been joined by various operational teams such as Force Off Road Bikes, Dones Team, Operational Support Unit & Guardian Tasking Force as well as our very own Cadets.

Actions of note this afternoon/evening

Cadets have been educating residents regarding the Town Centre PSPO and handing out No Trick or Treat cards tonight. If you or your family members would like a card to display in a front window, we have placed some in the Library & Three Trees Community Centre for collection.
