Locals encouraged to ask Chief Constable questions during today's Facebook live event

Redditch Editorial 10th Dec, 2018 Updated: 10th Dec, 2018   0

WEST Mercia Police Chief Constable Anthony Bangham will be answering the public’s questions later today in a Facebook live video.

Over the past few weeks Police and Crime Commissioner John Campion has been inviting people to email in their questions about the force’s budget and how they would like to see resources prioritised.

Mr Campion will put them to the Chief at 6pm this evening (Monday December 10) but has also said he will also answer some questions himself.

A range of topics are expected to be discussed, including visible policing, rural crime, tackling anti-social behaviour and protecting local businesses.




Further questions can be submitted during the live-stream which will take place on the ‘West Mercia PPC’ Facebook page.

PCC John Campion said: “I’m grateful to everyone who has engaged with this so far.


“I would encourage communities to take advantage of the opportunity on Monday evening, to have their views put forward at the highest level and help to shape the priorities for the budget moving forward.

“The public’s police service is funded with tax payer’s money so its imperative communities have a say in how their money is spent.”
