As an autistic persons horrible experience

As an autistic person I was called in for an interview the room was small and I felt like I was going to pass out also during the interview they kept repeating the same question even though I already gave them a clear answer as I wanted to come clean and not hide anything. for an Autistic person I get it they are doing their job but asking an autistic person the same question again and again is not tolerated they put too much pressure on me and thanks to that now my mental health is terrible I will not be going again after my terrible experience

Incompetent, Rude, Arrogant and obnoxious

I would love to rate them negatively but alas I can't. It is a huge comedy of errors from West Midlands Police. Police caught 1 out of 5 offenders despite clear CCTV with sound. The rest continued causing trouble through 2024. The boys in blue took my statement seven months late
Onto 2025 Even worse the same officers put onto 2 hate crimes. Again, No statement taken for first one. Second hate crime NO CRN EVER ISSUED. No investigation. The officers Including inspector were rude and arrogant. These officers then proceeded to do nothing. The disabled man in question fears being attacked by the youths that have never been caught in papers obtained police call the victim the offender. Inept, incompetent officers sit in a undercover station masquerading as a fire station.

Hopeless white male dominated police force

Racist, islamophobic, will arrest you for being a victim of crime. Difficult to make a complaint to the IOPC who are not independant and will support the police. Also police will damage your property and commit crime themselves against you and will most likely get away with it.

Great support and professionalism

After a crash in my car today I was really impressed with the officers from West Midlands Police. They arrived quickly, checked I was ok and ensured the scenario was made safe. The officer I liaised with was very professional, communicated decisions clearly and helped ensure the car and I were safely recovered from the scene. Thank you!

Corruption/VAWG

My DBS, courtesy of the brought and paid for, two tier gestepo, is on APPEAL via the IOPC as of 2025.

This is due to a weaponised legal system against former Constables'. This is a current media agenda/narrative (Sarah Everard case – RIP) which has targeted all with the same brush.

I have various character references available who actually KNOW me and acknowledge the real truth of the false allegations, because she is a woman and has played the system.

I had no independent witnesses or CCTV to help my case. My case was charged, via the Criminal Protection Service, before I even landed at the nick (abuse of process).

West Midlands Police is, unfortunately, a corrupt organisation, as referenced by the tel-a-viv football case and Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). Corruption was actually a cause for concern (Islam) back in 2005, when I served at Handsworth. This has now become apparent, due to the aforementioned. No moral compass as DEI said so.

In relation to my convictions, I have appealed to various MP's, one of which is reviewing my case at the time of writing.

West Midlands Police turn the potential VICTIMS into OFFENDERS and the potential OFFENDERS into VICTIMS. Misconduct in a PUBIC OFFICE.

The public need to feel safe

I was in west Bromwich town when a youth on a push bike went speeding pass me. He just missed me I am an elderly disabled woman. A policeman saw it and did nothing. I was throughly disgusted as West Bromwich town is a pedestrian area

I was wrongly arrested, when I had attempted suicide in a non public space, never called 999 once...

No one from West Midlands police contacted me for a while when I reported I was going via exploitation until...

No police EVER asked me if I was ok? When I was found after being reported missing multiple times..

My experience in 30 sentences below.

I was wrongfully arrested in October

In 2024 I called my mental health team 4 help, told them I was feeling suicidal, in need 4 support.

My mental health team called the ambulance, police on 999.

I was alone, with no people in my presence, in a secluded area.
I attempted suicide. A male police officer arrives, approached me in a secluded area.

I begged 4 his help. The ambulance turned up, walked 2 the same secluded area.

He arrests me 4 public nuisance!

I asked the officer why had I been arrested & he said it's because I call 999 too much and for my safety?

The ambulance said to the officer who had arrested me, she didn't call 999!

I was compliant.

The police officer left me in the ambulance van in handcuffs, didn't come back.

The police charge for public nuisance was dropped/discontinued, immediately within 2 hrs!

I complained 2 the police about this.

I provided 2 year phone records, 2 the complaints team showing evidently I had NEVER called 999 ambulance or police, multiple charities text messages printsreens showing they called 999 in concern for my welfare.

The ambulance staff made medical documents/accounts to what happened that day, documenting in their own words "I had attempted suicide and was immediately arrested for public nuisance and for my safety.

No communications from the police, to create resolutions about the false 999 allegation made towards me.

Asked police for inspector's email, that email didn't work.

IOPC gave me right to review.

Another instance I was let down. I went through exploitation in 2024 after ending up in a controlling relationship.

The charities were concerned for me, therefore they had contacted WMP.

I was vulnerable and a suicide risk at the time. It got significantly worse. At the time still no contact from police.

Police came round, welfare check, and I ended up telling this officer about my concerns. Officer had copRadio on & his radio updated his fellow officers. On cop radio I hear someone say "do you think this is legit" he confirms it is.

I showed the police officer the messages. Destroyed, upset 2 hear police talk about victims like this so openly.

I later contacted police, on web chat, since things were getting worse with the relationship. The web chat officer gives me an email address for a detective in exploitation/abusive relationships.

Had 2 make contact with the detective myself. Thankfully the Detective did a special referral for me 4 me as a emergency, when they saw the messages via email.

Safeguarding team said over the phone, that they were going 2 send me the support links, didn't happen.

Police said it's not my fault with what I went through, gave police info.

I felt the police's personalities were a bit cold. 2 Traumatised 2 ever call 999 because of WMP.

However I want to say thank you to those 2 police officers E & G for being there for me, the many hugs given, supporting me and my family, came round to 2 help me apply for college. To those officers who found me, rescued me from an awful situation, you are my hero's.

Two tier policing

Two tier policing, always protecting a certain demographic. Anti Semitic, corrupt organisation. If you want to see where our country is heading, go to Birmingham

⭐ corrupt you can tell by the reviews on here

⭐ Title: West Midlands Police – Bureaucratic, dismissive, and self-protective culture
Review:
My experience with West Midlands Police has been extremely disappointing. When I reported a clear case of ongoing harassment and bureaucratic abuse by a housing association, I brought a shoebox of evidence and even a threatening legal letter. The attending officer (badge no. 25902) read one or two pages and instantly dismissed it as a “civil matter.” It was obvious the decision was made before any real review took place.
The deeper problem is the culture. The force operates through bureaucratic deflection, not genuine investigation. Victims — especially those with disabilities — are made to feel disbelieved, ignored, or processed out of the system. Professional Standards, from what I’ve seen and researched, appears more interested in protecting officers and preserving image than ensuring accountability or fairness.
There is no genuine oversight, no transparency, and no duty of care for people reporting serious and targeted misconduct. This kind of bureaucratic culture empowers abusers and silences victims, leaving the public with no real recourse when police fail to act.

Called this morning the 101 operator…

Called this morning the 101 operator was rude when calling about being racially abused and I am white. She was not understanding at all had a rude attitude when she answered the phone. Then started shouting and saying I was talking over her when she was the one not listening. Good luck with 101 I don't know why we even pay for the police in lawless Britain. Employ people with manners and understanding to people's needs.

A Tragic Failure – No Response from West Midlands Police

I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the failure of West Midlands Police. My aunt called 999 twice in September 2008, urgently asking for help, she was entitled to a police response within 30 minutes based on the information she provided and it failed to happen. No officers were sent to her. Despite her clear need for protection, the calls were ignored, and she was later found murdered.

This is not just a mistake – it is a devastating failure of duty. Emergency services are meant to protect and respond, yet in this case, the system completely failed. Families deserve justice and accountability when lives are lost due to such negligence. I hope this review raises awareness of the urgent need for reform and responsibility within West Midlands Police.

I had to give 1 star to write a review…

I had to give 1 star to write a review about the front office staff at Coventry central police station. I went into the police station on 08/07/2025 at 12.15pm I asked to speak to the duty inspector over 7 hours later by way of telephone call Ispoketo the duty inspector & when he was speaking to me he was speaking to me about the wrong thing because of the incompetent staff at the front desk. After I put the telephone down I informed the incompetent staff at the front office they had got wrong but they wasn’t interested. I found 1 of them to be rude and the tried to dictate to me how to resolve the problem. I got the feeling she was trying to make herself out to be a police officer that had no idea what she was on about. It’s about time West Midlands police stopped employing wanna be police officers.

No trust in this corrupt police

Firstly to call a police station it costs money wtf ? Secondly taking property off people is breach of privacy act 2010 as it contains personal pictures and messages which are encrypted for that purpose . Secondly when us the public raise complaints for assault from a police officer as no charges where brought against me but I was treated like a criminal twice and held for 14hrs at a time and neglected while is police care . Not feed or allowed to use toilet but wanted me to take medication which states on the box to he taken with or part of food ? . Not understanding people medical needs . And 101 service do not give out police stations contact numbers ?.
