In the past month alone, the lives of eight people and their families have been ended or changed forever through violent driving on our roads.
In response to these tragedies, West Midlands Police released a statement on 19th June 2023 confirming what they already do, not what they will do, to make our streets safer. You can read their full statement here:
This response has done nothing to reassure our communities that West Midlands Police are treating this endemic road violence as a serious emergency.
In April 2023 the Chief Constable Craig Guildford announced a new local policing model which put Neighbourhood Policing at its core, including a pledge for “increased neighbourhood presence”. In reality, our neighbourhood teams are continually being taken away from neighbourhood teams to reduce demand on other services.
Neighbourhood policing must be prioritised if we are to tackle and prevent crime.
