The Office of the West Midlands and Police and Crime Commissioner has provided the following update regarding Sutton Coldfield Police Station
The decision to dispose of Sutton Coldfield police station was taken over six years ago in March 2018. It is to be sold, because it is a building that is now far too large for the needs of front line policing.
However, West Midlands Police will remain in Sutton Coldfield at a more appropriate, proportionate and fit-for-purpose base, within the same footprint of the existing property, accessible from Anchorage Road.
This solution supports the policing model, makes best use of the site to be retained, reduces operating costs and, most importantly, maintains the operational policing presence on the same site.
We want to reassure residents in Sutton Coldfield that the Public Contact Office, neighbourhood and response officers will relocate to their new base, before the current site is sold.
Sutton Coldfield will continue to have a reassuring, strong and visible West Midlands Police presence stationed in the town centre, to keep people, families, businesses and the local community, safe and secure.
The Commissioner has recently written a letter on the subject of Sutton Coldfield police station. That letter can be read below:
