Police patrols cracking down on troublemakers in Walsall community
Officers have been increasing patrols in Walsall Wood after residents complained about anti-social behaviour.
Walsall police said over the weekend its officers had been responding to reports of suspicious activity and were targeting the areas of greatest concern to people in the area.
A West Midlands Police Facebook post stated: "The information you give us really helps us identify those seeking to cause harm in your local community, and helps us direct resources to the right place and time.
"We know that anti-social behaviour has a direct impact on how safe people feel in their communities."
Residents are also being urged to share their experiences and suggest priorities for a force-wide survey in partnership with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner.
The force's anti-social behaviour lead Superintendent Simon Inglis said: “West Midlands Police take anti-social behaviour very seriously and we take positive, proactive action every day, to reduce harm and bring offenders to justice. However, it is important that our approach is informed by you, the public who live, work and visit the West Midlands.
“While we may know where and when it is occurring, we also need to know more about how it makes you feel, the impact it has on you and your family and how we can deal with it better. We have created this short survey to capture your feedback which will inform our approach and ensure that your local experiences influence the service we provide.”
