| Reason for Authority (Brief Summary for Publication) |
| #POWERS | We’ll be using Section 60 powers again in parts of Birmingham until 12am tomorrow (4 March). It allows us to stop and search people we suspect may be involved in violence involving weapons, without the need to have reasonable grounds. The powers will cover part of the city centre, Handsworth, Aston and Perry Barr. It follows recent violence where weapons were used. Our priority is to keep you safe. If you have any information on gun or knife crime, contact us on Live Chat on our website west-midlands.police.uk. In an emergency dial 999. |
