West Midlands Police have now confirmed that Acocks Green Police Station’s front counter will be closing – on 31st January. The counter is currently staffed by PCs and PCSO’s, who will return to local policing. This follows a review of the whole police force which will see 27 police stations closing their front counters, leaving 10 open. The nearest one remaining open to Acocks Green will be at Stechford Police Station.

The Police say:

“A range of methods for contacting the police exist; 101, West Midlands Police website (www.west-midlands.police.uk), dedicated email addresses, Twitter/Facebook for the force and neighbourhood teams, community meetings and drop in surgeries.

More detailed information about the changes to front offices can be found in ‘Contacting the Police in the West Midlands’ PDF leaflet found at www.west-midlands.police.uk under ‘Contact Us’.”
