Telford MP Shaun Davies recently facilitated a round table meeting with the Policing Minister Sarah Jones and West Mercia’s PCC John Campion and Chief Constable Richard Cooper.
The meeting, held in Parliament last month, was an opportunity to focus on ensuring West Mercia Police has the resources and support it needs to keep local communities across the three counties safe.
The meeting focused on West Mercia Police continuing to fight crime and bringing more offenders to justice with its record number of police officers.
PCC John Campion said: “I will continue to speak out to ensure that West Mercia Police has the resources it needs to tackle crime and keep communities safe.
“It is important that we are working together and I am grateful for Shaun Davies MP’s support in setting up the meeting with the policing minister.”
Shaun Davies MP for Telford added: “I was pleased to bring together West Mercia Police Chief Constable Richard Cooper and Police and Crime Commissioner John Campion with Police Minister Sarah Jones. The meeting was an opportunity to focus on ensuring West Mercia Police made up of hardworking police officers and staff has the resources and support it needs to keep local communities safe.
“Lower crime rates, more offenders being brought to justice, and a record number of police officers serving our area, all show progress being made. Continued investment helps support this work leading to safer streets, stronger neighbourhoods, and greater confidence for everyone who lives and works in Telford and the wider West Mercia area.”
