How we keep you safe

Find out more about how we plan and manage risk, support our staff, manage our fleet and assets and how we keep the communities of the West Midlands safer, stronger and healthier. 
Community Risk Management Plan
The strategic goals we have set ourselves, and this strategy as a whole, inform and are informed by our Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP), which is in turn informed by your views and opinions as shared through our 2023 public consultation. 

The CRMP is an assessment of the foreseeable challenges and risks facing our communities and what needs to be done to meet them. 

We use this analysis to inform the strategic goals, as well as to determine the specific projects we will undertake to achieve those goals and address the risks.

Our Strategy
Our Strategy is a three-year rolling strategy, previously called 'Our Plan', which sets out how our goals and how we will measure and achieve them. 

Our strategic goals, based on our Community Risk Management Plan, is presented in four areas aligned to how we organise our service. 

These all contribute to our vision of making the West Midlands safer, stronger and healthier. Explore our new strategy via the button below.
