Half‑Term Safety Message

As we approach the half‑term holidays, we’d like to wish everyone across South Staffordshire an enjoyable and safe break. This time of year often brings an increase in young people spending time outdoors, and with that, we sometimes see a rise in reports of anti‑social behaviour.

South Staffordshire Police would like to reassure our communities that we are fully prepared. Throughout the half‑term period, officers will be carrying out additional high‑visibility patrols, working closely with local partners, community groups, and local authorities to help keep our neighbourhoods safe and welcoming for everyone.

We are asking parents and guardians to help us by knowing where your children are, who they are with, and what they are doing, particularly during the evenings. A little awareness can go a long way in preventing issues before they arise.

If you experience or witness any form of anti‑social behaviour, please report it to us so we can take appropriate action:

📞 Call 101 for non‑emergencies
📞 Dial 999 in an emergency, where there is immediate danger or risk
💻 Report online via the Staffordshire Police website

Your information plays a vital role in helping us protect our communities. Every report helps us understand what’s happening locally and allows us to deploy our resources effectively.

Let’s work together to ensure everyone can enjoy a safe, positive, and trouble‑free half‑term.
