West Mercia Chief Constable offers web chat
West Mercia Police Chief Constable David Shaw will be taking part in a web chat today to answer questions from the public.
The event will take place from 6.30pm and online users can take part by logging on to www.westmercia.police.uk/webchat/
While online, Mr Shaw will ‘chat' with the public and take questions on a variety of issues. He said: "It is a very important part of my job to listen to the people we serve, to understand their thoughts and concerns, and to be held accountable for the service we deliver.
"While it is inevitable that some of the questions will be in relation to the recent announcement about our new local policing plans, I would also welcome any other queries people may have about policing in their area and I thoroughly look forward to a lively and interesting set of questions and views."
People who are not able to go online tomorrow between 6.30pm and 8.00pm, can leave their questions for the Chief in advance on the force Facebook page or on Twitter @westmerciapolice. You can also read a transcript of the web chat after the event via the force website.
Mr Shaw will try to answer as many questions as time allows or follow them up afterwards. He will not, however, be able to answer questions about specific crimes or ongoing court cases but will ensure any queries received are passed on to the appropriate policing unit.
