Safer Travel Police

We're now patrolling the Black Country rail line as it welcomes passengers for the first time in 60 years. This marks the first of 3 major transport developments we'll be supporting, alongside the Camp Hill line & the metro Eastside extension opening soon.

#ARRESTS | More great work from B team who saw 2 men acting suspiciously near the new metro line in Dudley Both stopped & found to be wanted, 1 for breach of a court & one for drug related offences Both arrested , 1 straight back to HMP & the other charged with offences

ARREST | Another person returned to prison after we stopped a man at Wolverhampton rail station. The 37 year old from Birmingham was found to be wanted on a recall so we obliged and he's on his way back to HMP.
