real time information from the West Midlands Police and Birmingham City Council

Ensure you receive the latest information direct from West Midlands Police and Birmingham City Council in the event of a major disruption to Birmingham City Centre.

The Priority Alert community are ‘trusted partners’ and the information sent to them is specific and detailed because the police know the recipients, trust them and know that they are able to manage the information. Unlike the Warn and Inform email/SMS messages which are sent to the general community and are not real-time updates.

By subscribing to the Birmingham Priority Alert Scheme you will receive vital information in the event of terrorism, explosions, suspect vehicles, protests or other business affecting incidents that is not available to the rest of the community.
