Police in parts of Birmingham have been given more powers to stop and search people on Saturday night, after a series of serious incidents, including a gun being fired.
West Midlands Police said it followed the firearms incident and a wounding earlier in the month.
Officers have been granted Section 60 powers, which allow them to stop and search people without the need to have reasonable grounds, between 19:00 GMT on Saturday and 03:00 on Sunday.
It will be in place across a specific part of the city, which includes Winson Green and parts of Rotton Park and Brookfields.
