List of police stations in the West Midlands

Prior to 1974, the majority of police stations in the city were operated by Birmingham City Police. However, as Birmingham's borders expanded over the twentieth century, it absorbed neighbouring territory from Staffordshire and Worcestershire, incorporating the existing local police stations and personnel into the city's infrastructure before all forces were unified under West Midlands Police.

Prior to 1969, policing in the city was administered by Coventry City Police. In 1969, the city force amalgamated with Warwickshire Constabulary to form the short-lived Warwickshire and Coventry Constabulary. This arrangement lasted until 1974, when Coventry was officially absorbed into the new West Midlands metropolitan county, passing its staff and operational stations over to West Midlands Police.
