The Commissioner is committed to supporting active citizenship as part of his aim to build stronger more united communities.
As well as listening to community issues, priorities and concerns, the PCC is keen to also give more opportunities for communities to create and implement their own improvements and solutions, with the police in a supporting role where necessary. PCC grant funding is enabling thousands of volunteering hours each year. The Commissioner will help ensure resources and support are available for projects that support the objectives within their Police and Crime Plan. A huge number of worthwhile projects are already going on in communities across the West Mercia area. Some of them are listed below.
