In a statement, the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner said:
“The decision to dispose of Sutton Coldfield police station was taken more than six years ago, in March 2018.
“It is for sale because it is a building that is now far too large for the needs of frontline policing.
“However, West Midlands Police will remain in Sutton Coldfield in a more appropriate, proportionate and fit-for-purpose base, within the same footprint as the existing property, accessed from Anchorage Road.
“This solution supports the police model, optimizes the use of the site to be retained, reduces operating costs and, above all, maintains the operational police presence on the same site.
“We want to reassure Sutton Coldfield residents that the Public Contact Office, Neighbourhood and Intervention Officers will move to their new base, before the current site is sold.
“Sutton Coldfield will continue to benefit from a reassuring, strong and visible West Midlands Police presence, stationed in the town centre, to ensure the safety of people, families, businesses and the local community.”
