Practice, Practice, Practice!
If you try to run every day, increasing the amount of running time every time you feel comfortable you'll eventually improve.
What you need to do is improve your leg muscles and lung capacity, so if you run every day your body will slowly adapt to higher speeds.
Also, make sure you stretch! And try out different running techniques to see which one fits you best, the proper technique can make all of the difference!

Strength training in your legs, especially the hamstrings, you'll notice that all world class sprinters have massive legs. Not good for distance, but good for speed. Also if you live around an hills running down hill can train your legs to move faster than they normally would (they have to so you don't bust your ***).

when running try to pace yourself and monitor your breathing.
i always when running or sprinting breathe out both of my nose and mouth.
also when when running upwind keep your head down and lean forward so you can get that extra speed.
when running around turns slow down so you wont hurt yourself but sprint after you come around it.

wear a "f the police" t-shirt, those cops will chase you like the dickens. Your speed will definitely improve.
