West Mercia Police is encouraging the local community to sign up for their free messaging service to keep up-to-date with what is going on in your local area.

The West Mercia Police Community Messaging Service (CMS) is a two-way local watch scheme that enables communities to engage with their local watch groups and the police. Local watch schemes such as these are aimed at encouraging communities to work together to protect both themselves and their property. It is a free tool that anyone can sign up for and in doing so, you will receive crime alerts for your local area along with useful crime prevention advice and community safety information. It also offers you the opportunity to join a local watch scheme or even start one.
