Extra patrols on Metro trams to deter anti-social behaviour

Extra patrols are to take place across the West Midlands metro as part of a campaign to tackle anti-social behaviour.

Officers from the region’s Safer Travel Partnership will be on board trams on Monday, supporting National Anti-Social Behavior Awareness Week.

It is hoped their presence will deter unwanted behavior and activities, although serious incidents have been uncommon, the operator said.

All trams have high-definition CCTV, staff wear body cameras and almost all stations have been recognized with Safer Tram Stop accreditation, it added. The Tube runs from Wolverhampton to Edgbaston, Birmingham.
