Public Survey: Residents are currently being asked to identify local "priority areas" for ASB. Feedback from this survey will directly dictate where resources are deployed for the remainder of 2026.

ASB Working Group: A newly formed group ensures that resident voices are central to long-term prevention strategies. 

High-Visibility Patrols: Increased foot and bicycle patrols are active in areas like 

Kingstanding

and 

Wyrley Birch

.

Weekend Crackdowns: Extra patrols are deployed to shopping centres, such as 

Bentley Bridge

, to manage large groups and nuisance behaviour.

Specialist Operations:

• Off-Road Bikes: Use of Section 59 notices and vehicle seizures to stop illegal biking in parks and residential streets.

• Business Watch: New groups in 

  Soho Road

  and 

  Lozells

  to tackle street drinking and aggressive begging through Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs). 

Community Protection Warnings (CPWs): Being issued more frequently to individuals identified as repeat ASB offenders.

Immediate Justice: Aligning with the 2025 Crime and Policing Bill to ensure offenders perform community "reparations" swiftly after their offense.

Youth Scrutiny Panels: Launching in early 2026 to review body-worn video from ASB-related stops, ensuring police powers are used fairly. 

Early Intervention: Over £4.3 million is being funneled into the Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) to provide youth activities (boxing, football, etc.) aimed at diverting young people from ASB.

Safer Streets Mission: Part of a government commitment to add 289 new officers and 20 PCSOs to WMP by March 31, 2026, specifically for neighbourhood patrolling.
