I reviewed some of the BWV of the @OPUWorcs officers who were so professional. This led to the safe conclusion of stopping the vehicle and 2 x arrests for intent to supply class A drugs. A great result by our County Lines Team. Top work 👏 westmercia.police.uk/news/west-merc…
#OPTRAMLINE - not just stopping trucks. This was stopped on the M5 - driver admitted straight away that he had no insurance and was disqualified until he passed a driving test. Driver reported. (3551)

On Friday night we celebrated some fantastic people at the Quality Policing Awards, which showcased just a fraction of the good work our people & community members have carried out in the last year. The stories shared & dedication to keeping our communities safe was inspiring ✨
