West Midlands Police

One of the biggest metropolitan counties in the country, West Midlands is home to Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton.

Crime hotspots in the West Midlands include Birmingham’s City centre, with 1800 offences, and Birmingham west, with 1131 crimes per 10,000 cars. In fact, as illustrated by our crime map, the West Midlands has a large number of crime areas, which encompass Birmingham, Dudley and Wolverhampton. Central Coventry also rates badly, with its city centre recording 434 offences.

In contrast, Solihull was the safest town in the West Midlands with its B93 postcode recording eight offences. It’s worth noting that Solihull is split between West Mercia and West Midlands Police, hence the fact it has appeared twice in our regional ratings. 

A lack of detailed data means we are unable to display the crime rates by manufacturer for the West Midlands Police area.
