From Walsall Police

We've seen overall crime in Walsall drop in the last 12 months - with significantly fewer incidents of thefts from shops, theft of motor vehicles, assault with injury and harassment.

Across our town, for the year to March 2026, overall crime has been reduced by 2.34% compared to the same period the previous year.

Compared with the previous 12 months, the number of shop theft offences dropped by 15.68% while incidents causing public fear, alarm or distress fell by 12.85%.

Theft from motor vehicles has also fallen by 8.84% while harassment dropped by 8.44%.

However, we do not under-estimate the impact crime has on those who suffer it and the communities who live with it.

Our local neighbourhood teams, response officers, investigation and public protection units, who are on duty every day of the year, are combatting it with targeted activities and specialist operations.

Chief Superintendent Sam Batey, from Walsall Police, said: "These figures represent fewer victims, fewer businesses affected by crimes and safer communities across Walsall. That matters.

“Crime reduction does not happen by chance. It comes from relentless focus, targeted policing, strong partnerships and officers and staff who are committed to protecting the public every single day.

“We have taken a clear problem-solving approach, prevention activity and visible enforcement to tackle the crimes that matter most to communities particularly shop theft, anti-social behaviour and violence.

“But we are not complacent. While these results are encouraging, our focus remains firmly on continuing to cut crime, pursue offenders and maintain public confidence."

Operation Marigold, set up to combat shop thefts, has been hugely successfully with a dedicated business crime officer in place in Walsall working closely with shops and businesses, as well as partners.

The business crime specialist officer works to identify, apprehend and jail shop thieves.

We also have a dedicated Problem Solving and Priorities Team tackling issues which impact our communities including anti-social behaviour.

The team recently teamed up with partners including Walsall Council to set up the new Prevention Hub, based at the Civic Centre. The Prevention hub is the first of its kind in our force.

The Prevention Hub includes a dedicated anti-social behaviour officer, problem solving officers, early help officers and school intervention and prevention officers. It also includes an under 25’s serious violence co-ordinator, business crime co-ordinator and road harm prevention officer.

Each area of Walsall has a Dedicated Neighbourhood Officer (DNO) with the local policing teams also offering a visual presence as they work alongside other departments such as the Project Guardian Taskforce, who specialise in tackling serious youth violence and knife crime.

We're here for you 24/7 and the more information we receive, the better we can address issues which matter and concern you.

In an emergency you should call us on 999, but in a non-emergency we're available via 101 or Live Chat on our website.
