West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner John Campion, and Amanda Blakeman, Assistant Chief Constable for Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police, have said that the police will be contacting all local MPs, including MP Jesse Norman and MP Bill Wiggin, to ensure that they do not have any concerns about their personal safety following the stabbing and shooting of a Labour MP in Yorkshire.

PCC John Campion and ACC Amanda Blakeman said: "Like the rest of the country, we were stunned and saddened by the horrific story that unfolded in West Yorkshire yesterday. Our thoughts are with Jo Cox’s family at this tragic time. Her death is an affront to British democracy and values, which she clearly worked so hard to promote and protect.”

“It’s believed the attack on Jo Cox was an isolated incident, and we would like to reassure local communities that there is no intelligence to suggest otherwise.

"All of our local MPs are being contacted individually to ensure they have no safety concerns. Safer Neighbourhood Teams have also been briefed this morning, and will be calling at the offices of local MPs today for visibility and reassurance.”
