This boundary map details where the West Midlands Police force covered upon its creation in 1974.

Previously, these cities and towns had separate forces - some dating further back than others, and most having been part of previous mergers!

It's #Transport month!

We're taking a look through some of our archived photos of police vehicles, starting with this Birmingham City police cyclist.

Police started using bicycles in the late 1800's enabling police officers to patrol a larger area.

Coventry began trialling tricycles for their police force in the 1880s

One news article at the time reported a successful arrest and the 'utter bewilderment of the thief, who 'did not know they put Bobbies on tricycles.''

Oh books, wonderful books, marvellous books, glorious books! 😍

We've always loved a good #shelfie – like these ones from our former home on Great Russell Street in 1986 (also who else would love a slide down the book chute?)
