Businesses in West Mercia, will have a unique opportunity, to brush up on their knowledge around cyber crime, through an event funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner.

I am working to make West Mercia, a safer place to live and work, and this is just one example of how I’m enabling individuals, communities and business with the tools to help keep themselves safe. I’d encourage all businesses big or small to take advantage of this opportunity to learn from experts.”
