It was good to visit the West Midlands Police command centre today and have the opportunity to raise some local policing and crime issues, such as antisocial behaviour, youth violence and car theft, with the Chief Constable and Police and Crime Commissioner.
The Chief Constable set out the improvements made at west Mids police in recent years but recognised they need to do more to improve the response to crimes like car theft which I know is a huge issue in Great Barr, Tamebridge and many areas across the constituency.
I’ll continue to work closely with the police going forward.
