Issue details

PCC DN - Funding contribution in support of Operation Solihull (Jaguar Land Rover)

Vehicle crime continues to be a concern for communities and GMP has been meeting with partners to review the issue and take positive action.

Following similar initiatives across the UK with other police force areas, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and GMP are looking to enter a partnership to create Operation Solihull - aimed at tackling theft of motor vehicles, chop shops, and handling stolen goods (vehicle parts).

The operation will also aim to increase the intelligence GMP has on vehicle crime and Organised Crime Group activity in this area.

The Operation will target crime to all vehicles, but will utilise the technical knowledge and capabilities of JLR in the training of officers and response to crimes.

The proposed partnership has support from GMP Chief Officers and the Strategic Lead for Vehicle Crime.
