List of police stations in the West Midlands

Most police stations in the West Midlands county of England are now operated by the West Midlands Police, created on 1 April 1974, but many were built for its predecessors, and some of those closed before its creation. A number of the stations are listed buildings and others are locally listed by the relevant local authority. A few are operated by the British Transport Police.

This list also includes administrative buildings which do not have facilities for the visiting public.

Birmingham

Before 1974, police stations in Birmingham were operated by Birmingham City Police. However, over the years, Birmingham has absorbed land from Staffordshire and Worcestershire, and with it came police staff and stations.
