What does the future hold?
A number of people have asked how the town centre policing operation will be affected by talks of police budget cuts and financial restraint.
In relation to budgets and resources, no definite figures have been published. There has been rumour and speculation, but no decisions have been taken yet.
In the meantime, we will continue to maintain a highly visible and proactive presence in areas where we anticipate alcohol related disorder.
Once we have a clearer picture of how budgets will look, we will undertake a review of Operation Be Safe, to ensure that we continue to provide a safe environment for visitors to Walsall, without compromising the policing service to the rest of the borough.
