Why Sutton Coldfield Police Station is for Sale

The police station has been listed for sale as it was deemed "too large for the needs of front-line policing." According to the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), police services will continue in Sutton Coldfield but will relocate to a more "appropriate, proportionate, and fit-for-purpose base."

A PCC spokesperson assured residents, "We want to reassure residents that the Public Contact Office, neighbourhood, and response officers will relocate to their new base before the current site is sold." The decision to sell the station was made in March 2018, with the aim of reducing operating costs.
