Welcome to Walsall Operational Command Unit
Kevin Bullas,
Chief Superintendent
Welcome to Walsall (H1) operational command unit (OCU), which covers many diverse areas including Aldridge, Streetly, Birchills, Caldmore, Palfrey and also Walsall town centre.
This website is designed to provide you with information about policing in Walsall.
The OCU is divided into two sectors, each under the command of a dedicated Inspector in charge of neighbourhood teams, each headed by a sergeant responsible for policing your neighbourhood.
The OCU has large numbers of staff dedicated to policing neighbourhoods supported by teams that are able to respond spontaneously or have specialist skills. This allows us to work with local people and partners to solve local problems, which will help reduce crime further and make people feel even safer about the area.
This year you will also see more police community support officers (PCSOs) and special constables working across the OCU as part of our resources dedicated to local policing.
This website is aimed at keeping you informed about some of the initiatives and practices we will introduce to tackle crime and safety issues, as well as providing you with local performance information. We will also feature specialist teams so you can learn more about the people who serve in this area and the jobs they do.
Don't forget if you want the police to focus on a problem in your area, please contact your local neighbourhood team. On the Neighbourhood Policing pages you will find details to phone or email your concerns and details of the next meeting you can go to with the community and partners. Your local neighbourhood policing team will prioritise problems in your area and tackle them to make you safer.
We welcome your feedback and look forward to working with you. Please visit us again for more news. With your help we can continue to make Walsall a safe place to live, work and visit.
Kevin Bullas,
Chief Superintendent
