Sandwell Pubwatch working in partnership against crime and disorder for a safer Sandwell.

What is Pub Watch?

Over recent years, the police have forged successful partnerships with pub landlords across Sandwell through the Pub Watch scheme operating in Oldbury, Rowley Regis, Smethwick, Tipton, Wednesbury and West Bromwich.  Pub Watch aims to reduce disorder and crime by improving communication between licensed premised and the police.  Members of the scheme work closely with each other and the police to fast track information on incidents and likely troublemakers to all those involved.  

Licensing officers also provide crime reduction advice to pub landlords and staff as part of the scheme.
