Crime in Bromford & Hodge Hill, Birmingham

We are working with Birmingham City Council Parking Enforcement. We know that the majority of vehicles are owned locally, so we are using a mixture of education and enforcement, to persuade residents and customers to be more considerate.

Multi agency operations to tackle the fatal four (speeding, drink/drug driving, using a mobile phone, not wearing seatbelt). Sometimes you will see us on our own with a handheld speed device to catch speeding drivers. Other times you will see us parked up with partners from DVSA, West Midlands Fire Service, Taxi Licensing, VOSA and many more, providing education to drivers and removing vehicles form the road that shouldn’t be there. We are also introducing community Speedwatch, to help focus attention on the dangers of speeding.

Since November 2023 nitrous oxide is now a class c controlled drug Under the misuse of drugs act. We will look to increase our local patrols in the hot spot areas identified to conduct stop and searches of those suspected of being in possession or under the influence of nitrous oxide.

Increase stationary operations with police speed camera enforcement vans at specific locations. Also use of ghost number plate checker to possible identify further RT offences.
