Yesterday was a tough day. An officer from Newtown was repeatedly punched while on the floor causing numerous facial injuries that required hospital treatment. Despite her injuries she was still restraining the offender when colleagues arrived.

Myself and my colleague have just been in a kebab shop in Lozells. As we waited a male who was sat with his family went up and spoke to staff. On going to pay for our food I was told the gentleman had already paid to thank us for our response following the recent mosque attacks.
Coventry based Force Response, Neighbourhood, West Midlands Fire and a special appearance by NPAS in a blue-light salute to the people who care for us at UHCW. 👏🏻
I’ve just arrested a Male who overtook my marked police car at around 80mph on a 30mph road. Opened the door and he stinks of alcohol and fails the roadside test. Checks show he’s wanted for failing to attend court for..... you guessed it, drink driving.

Unbelievable scenes at Newtown as a Male bangs on the station door saying he’s being chased. That’s all well and good mate but you’re currently wanted for 5 offences including robbery. He also drove himself to the station IN A STOLEN CAR and is already disqualified

Today is an incredibly sad day for all of the Police family as we say goodbye to our friend and colleague Holly Burke who was taken from us far too soon. Sleep forever in beautiful peace. See you in the next world. We are still 💔
So I just walked into a pub and on seeing a hen do I thought it might be engaging and funny to ask if they ordered a stripper! Never will I do that again as it almost resulted in a back up shout. 😳 lucky to get out of there alive let alone fully clothed.
Officers have attended a burglary in progress in Penn.On arrival offenders were still inside. All detained following taser deployment and footchase. particularly nasty job as they tied up a women and 2 children inside. 4 very dangerous offenders off the streets. Great work by all
Bournville A unit responded to an ‘all out’ shout this afternoon to a report of a toddler being abducted and items stolen in the Longbridge area. We flooded the area and the child was safely located and reunited with mum and suspect arrested all within about half an hour. KS
Here at Birmingham East response, we love commandeering vehicles.
Imagine being a crook, halfway through a crime, and seeing a police car. You drop your bike and run away, only to see a cop chasing you down on your own pushbike 😂

whilst on patrol this evening. Unfortunately he’d got himself in a bit of a pickle so we helped him out. We used our discretion and didn’t write him up for littering. BY
Today, for the second time in 3 months I found myself doing CPR after a hanging. Both males under 45. Suicide is the biggest killer of males in the uk. We’re not robots. Everyone needs help at some point in their life. There’s no shame in asking for support.

Officers have located an elderly man walking the streets in his dressing gown. He’s not eaten today so Tea and toast for him while we wait for ambulance to check him over. No family around so referrals and safeguarding to do but for the time being some company and conversation.
Officers from Newtown have just performed CPR on a Male for over 20 minutes while

Following good cctv work and a footchase, officers have detained 4 children in the 5 ways area of Birmingham following a string of attempted knifepoint robberies. The children are aged between 10-12!!! When you think you have seen it all!
#wheresyourchild
Well...this is an expensive crash. I wonder if it was the cost or another reason why the Rolls driver left the scene? Either way, we have his photo and will ask him very soon. Driver was not driving for the conditions and obviously can't handle a car like this.

A little bundle of joy on a dreary November day! B unit Stechford officers had a surprise visit from police puppy Kane who is 11 weeks old and in training to be a GP dog! Good luck youngster! HG

You might think that a Rolls Royce worth around a quarter of a million pounds would be correctly insured. Bournville D unit officers seized this car tonight for being driven with no insurance! Do they win the prize for highest value car needing removing from the roads today? KS
A Unit Newtown went towards a stolen car which failed to stop in Ladywood. These dangerous offenders didn't care for the safety of the public or us, and smashed into us deliberately. 2 officers injured but we won't stop hunting you down.

#FourInCustody
Officers from Newtown have unfortunately had to take 4 children, the youngest being 6 months old into Police protection. It's never nice to do this but their welfare is paramount. We purchased some basics to make them feel a little more human again whilst we keep them safe.
Officers from C unit Brierley Hill saw this stolen moped. Rider & passenger swore at officers as they rode past. Following a short a pursuit they ran. Unfortunately for them we had Police Dog Swift working with us. 1 in custody for theft of motor vehicle and possessing cannabis.
Great result for Newtown officers. A number of knifepoint robberies reported in quick succession. We flood the area and arrest all 5 offenders following foot chases. Property recovered. Sorry for the dodgy parking Dartmouth circus!Thanks to

The majority of incidents Police officers attend aren’t exciting or glamorous and won’t appear on Twitter. But every incident the police do attend makes a difference to someone, somehow. Here’s to all officers on duty tonight across the UK. 👍. STP.
An officer entered a takeaway earlier. Without cause or reason he was abused by a male who called the officer “ his servant “ the male then knocked the officers mobile out his hand and stamped on it.A Completely unprovoked attack. Following a scuffle the Male was arrested

Newtown officers have attended 2 lads on the roof of a children’s home. Refused to engage with officers so after negotiations failed we deployed the garden hose. 2 minutes later both males were down safely. More then one way to skin a cat. 🤙🏽

This is the job we spoke about a few days ago. For those that stand around and watch or decide to film rather then help just remember these officers have families to go home to and do what they do to protect you and yours.
Sometimes this job can still shock. Officers have responded to 2 separate calls to the broad street area of Birmingham to reports of three lads aged 10 asking people for money and showing them a knife. This resulted in a foot chase and two boys detained.
Eunit Stechford Officers last night prevented a man from taking his own life. He was found during the attempt and quick reaction saved his life. Upon speaking to him after he told me he just didn’t think. I’m not to proud to say I cried last night after this job
