- Supporting victims and survivors

- Modernising policing for better outcomes
- Building trust through visible, responsive policing.

The West Mercia Police Local Policing Charter is based on three principles

- Visibility
- Accessibility

It is a commitment to accessible, community-focused policing. It prioritises listening to residents, tackling crime, safety and anti-social behaviour (ASB).
