West Mercia Police - Whitchurch Neighbourhood

West Mercia Police Information

West Mercia is the fourth largest geographic police area in England and Wales. The force area is divided into five territorial policing areas, which match the boundaries of our local authorities.

While West Mercia is predominantly rural, it also contains some densely populated urban areas and many market towns. To ensure we strike the right balance between addressing national and local policing priorities, the force focuses its activities on three priority areas:

  • Serving
  • Protecting the public
  • Making the difference

Whitchurch Neighbourhood

Our team is made up of one Local Policing Officer, Deb Wheeler, and Police Community Support Officers, Graeme Baines & Dave Andrew, all of us are supervised by Sergeant Scott Barnes,and the whole team is managed by Inspector Tracy Ryan who is responsible for Local Policing in North Shropshire. Please be patient while we update this page, following some recent changes.
