THOUGHTS and concerns about antisocial behaviour across the region are being sought.
West Midlands Police has launched a survey in partnership with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) to shape a plan to reduce antisocial behaviour for 2026 onwards.
The police say the survey will give residents the opportunity to share your experiences and ideas to help ensure the plan reflects community needs, and how well it is delivering a service.
Antisocial behaviour can have a real impact on how safe people feel where they live.
Superintendent Simon Inglis, West Midlands Police lead for antisocial behaviour, said: “West Midlands Police take antisocial behaviour very seriously and we take positive, proactive activity every day, to tackle offenders and reduce it whenever and wherever it occurs.
“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.”
The PCC, Simon Foster, said: “Antisocial behaviour is a blight on our communities and can have a devastating impact on the quality of life for residents. That is why preventing and reducing neighbourhood crime and ASB is a core priority within my Police and Crime Plan 2025–2029.”
“Policing works best when it reflects the priorities of the people it serves. This survey is a vital opportunity for you to influence how we prevent and tackle these issues and ensure West Midlands Police are focused on what matters most to you. I urge everyone to have their say and help us shape a safer, more secure future for all.”
The survey will be open throughout February, and everyone who lives, works, or spends time in the West Midlands is encouraged to take part.
