Statement to voters

I have overseen a fall in crime in West Mercia and the recruitment of 500 additional Police Officers, taking the force to record numbers.

Full statement



I am determined that communities must now feel the full benefit; where crime falls further, victims are better supported and people feel safer.

I will focus on:

Cutting Crime

Safer Town Centres – Expanding Town Centre Policing Teams. Safer Homes – Targeting offenders of domestic abuse, sexual violence and exploitation. Safer Businesses – Preventing crime and ensuring a robust response when it does happen. Safer Countryside – Enhancing rural crime fighting teams. Tackling Drugs – Pursuing drug dealers and the harm they cause in our society. Prompt Investigations – Ensuring West Mercia Police respond promptly to reports of crime and conduct thorough investigations.

Supporting Victims & Survivors

Advocacy – Putting the voice of victims at the heart of policing in West Mercia. Creating a Victims Hub – Ensuring victims get the support they need by specialist training for officers delivering regular and meaningful updates.

Putting Policing back into the Heart of the Community

Visible Policing – Redirecting funding for 100 more police officers to Safer Neighbourhood teams – more visible in communities fighting crime. Responsive Policing – Ensuring the police respond quickly to the public and keep them informed about crime in their area and what action is being taken. Accessible Policing – Improving the responsiveness of both 101 service and online crime reporting. Safer Roads – More specialist roads policing teams.

West Mercia Police is made up of hard-working officers and staff; I am resolute in the belief that they and the communities of West Mercia deserve a hard-working Commissioner who is focused on fighting crime, supporting victims and putting policing back at the heart of the community.

Yours sincerely,

John-Paul Campion

The Conservative Party Candidate
