The West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner is reassured that West Mercia Police have improved call handling times for 999 calls.

Commissioner John Campion said “Knowing you will receive a fast response in an emergency situation is vital for our communities to be safe and feel safe. The control room staff do a commendable job, providing a professional and efficient service when faced with increasingly high demand.

There are of always areas that West Mercia Police can improve on, and this has been an area I have scrutinised and then invested in. I have made resources available for both additional staff and technology. This shows communities are seeing an improved emergency service as a result.”
