Local policing
West Mercia is split into five local policing areas: Herefordshire, Shropshire, North Worcestershire, South Worcestershire and Telford and Wrekin.
The local policing teams include local CID investigations, response teams and Safer Neighbourhood Teams. Your local Safer Neighbourhood Team is your first point of call to raise issues in your community.
