PCC John Campion is welcoming increased grant funding for policing in West Mercia next year, as confirmed by the Home Secretary Sajid Javid today.
Central funding for West Mercia in 2019/20 will go up to £122.4m. An increase of approximately £2.3m compared to this year. It represents the first time central grant funding for policing has increased since 2010.
The Home Office has also confirmed increased flexibility over council tax for Police and Crime Commissioners across England and Wales.
Worcester’s MP Robin Walker recently spent the afternoon with the West Mercia Police Local Policing Priorities Team (LPPT) to experience what it’s like to be on the front line of crime prevention.
The new division funded by the PCC, provides a visible policing response and presence to increase public reassurance and disrupt criminal networks.
Commissioner John Campion said “Our communities want visible, proactive policing which focuses on the priorities that matter to them, and the LPPT is just one example of how this is being delivered day to day. The investments I’ve made, in technology for example, help to make this a success. West Mercia Police officers are a credit to their communities they serve, and their hard work and professionalism helps to keep the public safe.”
