YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A SUPERHERO TO FIGHT CRIME! Batman may have had Robin to help him rid Gotham’s streets of criminals but West Midlands Police has a greater force... you! Every day in every area of the West Midlands local people are helping us fight crime and that’s why crimes are at a 10 year low. But while crime has fallen over the past decade, each year we see a spike in crime after the clocks go back. To tackle this year’s anticipated seasonal rise in crime associated with darker nights, we’re reminding people that by using a timer on lights at home or keeping valuables out of sight, you don’t have to be a superhero to make a big difference where you live. The figures, combined with our experience, make us believe that criminals use the cover of darkness to break into homes and cars and to rob people as they make their way home from school or after a night out. Unlike the comic strip villains of years gone by, criminals operating here in the West Midlands hate to be noticed and will use the cloak of darkness to offend. Whether it’s Neighbourhood Watch members keeping a check on their street, residents ensuring that side entry gates to the rear of properties are locked or people simply keeping their wits about them, our message is clear - you don’t have to be a superhero to stop criminals in their tracks.
