Yesterday the City Centre teams dealt with a male threatening to jump off a carpark and were shocked to hear people shouting 'Jump'. This behaviour WILL NOT be tolerated. It is an offence and you will be arrested. Have compassion for those in need of help.

A very challenging New Years Eve on Broad Street. Multiple officers assaulted. And two hit by a vehicle trying to escape. Fortunately, only minor injuries caused.
Just viewed bodyworn video of Team 1 officers struggling with an aggressive male last night. Both PC millett who was spat at and SC Mcdonagh got off 3 hrs late. The male has been charged and remanded for assaulting an emergency worker. Both are back out today. Well done.

A very busy late shift, numerous vulnerabilities to deal with. Special mention goes to PS Khan who managed to talk a suicidal person from the top of Edgbaston St car park. Top job.
ARRESTED - we have arrested two males we believe committed a robbery last month in the city centre by snatching the victims gold chain from his neck. One male decided to run and all the officers gave chase - even the sergeant was running!
