Police continue to provide visible patrols and community reassurance

News from our partners Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police

Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police will continue to provide visible patrols across the alliance area whilst the UK threat level remains at critical. 

Speaking today, Assistant Chief Constable Richard Moore said:

“We continue today to work with all of our local and national partners to ensure the safety of our communities and public spaces.

“There remains no specific threat to our policing area and our response continues to be focused on reassuring people through visible police patrols.  People will see more officers out and about in our communities but we are keen for people not to be alarmed by this but to be reassured and if they do have any concerns to speak to us.

“We will continue to deploy an increased number of Armed Response Vehicles to give us additional capacity to respond to any incident.  There continues to be no intention for the military to deploy at this time in our area.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the public for their ongoing support.”

If you see any suspicious activity please report it to police by calling the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789 321 or in an emergency call 999.  Suspicious activity is anything that seems out of place, unusual or just doesn’t seem to fit in with day-to-day life.  It may be nothing, but if you see or hear anything that could be terrorist-related trust your instincts and call.
