PCC Reassured over Use of Stop and Search

The West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner John Campion is reassured over West Mercia Police’s use of stop and search powers. Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) has reported it is confident that West Mercia Police officers are using their stop and search powers proportionately and lawfully. Owing to this the force has been reinstated on the Best Use of Stop and Search Scheme this week.

Police and Crime Commissioner John Campion said: “The appropriate use of stop and search means our communities are protected and the public are treated proportionately. I am pleased to see that a number of improvements have been made, and I will continue to hold the Chief Constable to account to ensure West Mercia Police are using Stop and Search in the best possible way.”

West Mercia PCC

'County Lines' offenders who brought drugs into our communities from Birmingham have been jailed.

These gangs deliberately target communities outside of big cities and move around to try and avoid police detection. It's a great result for West Mercia Police, and the local officers in Malvern Cops and Ledbury.

The PCC is committed to making West Mercia more secure. This conviction shows how that commitment is being translated into action in our communities. Hopefully it sends a message to other would-be criminals.
