Focused on working together to benefit the communities of Worcestershire, Police and Crime Commissioner John Campion alongside West Mercia Police’s Chief Constable Richard Cooper met with Worcestershire County Council Leader Jo Monk and Chief Executive Paul Robinson.
The meeting on Thursday 24 July followed the local elections in May 2025 which saw a new leader elected in Councillor Jo Monk.
During the meeting, discussions were had on a range of topics including road safety, children’s services, and maximising the resources available to deliver better outcomes for the communities of Worcestershire.
PCC John Campion said: “As the public’s voice in policing, I know local communities expect the police and local authorities to work together to deliver the changes they want to see.
“I am committed to delivering on those calls and the meeting highlighted the shared aims we have in making roads safer in Worcestershire, doing all we can to protect the most vulnerable in the county, and maximising the resources available to us.
“I look forward to working closely with Jo and Paul as we use this moment as a platform to build on progress to ensure communities in Worcestershire are safe and feel safe.”
Councillor Jo Monk, Leader of Worcestershire County Council, said: “I know that our residents want to see us striving for change where it is needed, making decisions that make a difference, strengthening communities, enhancing public services and delivering value where it matters most.
“I was really pleased to meet John, alongside our chief executive, as we look to build a strong working relationship that will allow us to help to keep our communities safe, whilst delivering the changes that people have asked for.”
