West Midlands Police will be bringing its Operation Advance to the area for the next 24 hours.
The force-wide operation rotates across force area and on Friday will see Wolverhampton teams joined by specialist officers drawn for the force.
Wolverhampton Ch Supt Jenny Skyrme said: "The return of Op Advance is an opportunity for us to further tackle issues that we know impact our communities.
What matters to people living and working here in Wolverhampton matters to us, and it's important we're at the heart of communities so we can act.
"When you see officers out and about today, or any day, come and have a chat and tell us about the issues concerning you. Wolverhampton is a great place to live, work and visit and we're committed to working alongside our partners to maintain this."
Officers will be tackling issues including organised and violent crime, knife crime, anti-social behaviour and shop thefts across the borough with the help of other agencies.
