The community trigger

What are the criteria for a Community Trigger?

A Community Trigger case has to meet set criteria to qualify for a review.

In Birmingham, a case needs to meet one of the following thresholds:

  • A minimum of 3 separate anti-social behaviour incidents reported during the previous 6 months to either Birmingham City Council, a Social Housing provider or West Midlands Police.
  • In addition, at least one report needs to be made during the last month.

(If the same incident has been reported to two separate agencies, this will qualify as one incident).

  • At least one hate crime incident reported during the previous 6 months to either Birmingham City Council, a Social Housing provider or West Midlands Police.

(The incident must have been reported as a hate crime at the time of reporting).

We cannot consider incidents unless they have been reported to Birmingham City Council, a Social Housing Provider or West Midlands Police.
