Words by Sergeant Claire Millard, Erdington Neighbourhood Police Team
Hi everyone.
I’m Claire Millard, your new Neighbourhood Sergeant for Erdington.
I’ve been in the seat for about a month now and while I know I have some big shoes to fill following Sgt John Reeves, I’m ready to hit the ground running.
I’ve spent twelve years in policing starting at the Met before transferring to WMP and moving into Public Protection, so I’ve seen a lot in my time. But my goal here is simple: I want you to feel safe in your own neighbourhood.
I know there have been concerns recently about anti-social behaviour and drug dealing, particularly around the High Street. We hear you and we are taking action.
Operation Fearless is back.

This month, you’ll notice a major boost in boots on the ground. We’re teaming up with both uniformed and plain-clothes officers from Operation Fearless for regular High Street patrols.
Whether you see us in high-vis or we’re working quietly in the background, we are out there disrupting the people making life difficult for the rest of us.
I don’t want us to be just a passing siren. I will make sure we’re making regular use of the community hub outside B&M.
Please stop by to chat to us, report any concerns, grab some crime prevention advice, or just say hello, we’re here for you.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all out on the beat.
Sgt Millard.
