The smell of trouble - Neighbourhood Policing in Birmingham - new podcast.
“We’re not aiming high enough” is what the Chief Constable of the West Midlands tells the Grassroots Channel this time. We hear from Sir Paul Scott Lee as we return to the theme of communities and policing and look in detail at the community watch programme in Perry Common in Birmingham.
Sue Beardsmore talks to Mary Harvey and Sheila Barker of the Witton Lodge Community Association.
