Detailed description:
West Midlands Police is the second largest police force in the country, covering an area of 348 square miles and serving a population of almost 2.6 million.
The region sits at the very heart of the country and covers the three major centres of Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton. It also includes the busy and thriving districts of Sandwell, Walsall, Solihull and Dudley. Leisure, retail and conference amenities, together with Premiership and Championship football teams, attract millions of visitors annually.
The West Midlands is an area rich in diversity, with 18 per cent of its population from ethnic minority backgrounds.
An average of 170, 000 motorists travel through the region daily, making its motorways some of the busiest in Europe.
Against this backdrop, the force deals with more than 2, 000 emergency calls for help every day, as well as patrolling the streets and responding to incidents 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week.
West Midlands Police Drugs Intervention Programme (DIP) are engaging more and more offenders who misuse drugs every day.
Alongside our multi-agency partners, known as Criminal Justice Integrated Teams (CJITs)referring people into treatment programmes to help them break the revolving door of drugs-crime-prison and get them ‘out of crime and into treatment’.
Drug testing adult offenders through the DIP has become standard practice across the force since its introduction in April 2004. It has proved that around half of all crimes committed in the West Midlands are committed to fund drug addictions. Of the 70, 000 adults tested so far, more than 25, 000 tested positive for class 'A' drugs - heroin, cocaine and crack cocaine.
