About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

Policing priorities

  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    Setting the blueprint for West Mercia Police, the Police and Crime Commissioner’s West Mercia Safer Communities Plan has four priorities shaped by the public:

    - Cutting crime – targeting the concerns, and crime types, that matter most to communities, including anti-social behaviour
    - Policing with the community – more visible and accessible policing resulting in improved public confidence and satisfaction
    - Supporting victims and witnesses – ensuring victims feel supported throughout the criminal justice journey and are regularly updated, and criminals are brought to justice
    - Maximising resources and value for money – identifying efficiencies and smarter ways of working without compromising on delivering a quality service

    The West Mercia Police Local Policing Charter is based on three principles

    - Visibility
    - Accessibility
    - Engagement.

    It is a commitment to accessible, community-focused policing. It prioritises listening to residents, tackling crime, safety and anti-social behaviour (ASB).

    Issued 10 March 2026

    Action taken:

    Safer Neighbourhood Teams set local priorities and provide regular updates via social media and Neighbourhood Matters. Contact your local team for more information.
