Watch: West Mercia Police to publicise 999 and 101 calls for 24 hours

The force says it is important that the public have the opportunity to fully understand how the police operate where you live and that you can see the work they do.

Therefore, for 10 days this autumn they are opening the window on policing.

Protect 2016 starts tomorrow and for the following 10 days they will be showcasing the work carried out by West Mercia Police. From the execution of arrest warrants to web chats with senior officers and crime prevention events, the full spectrum of modern-day policing will be on show for all to see.

Deputy Chief Constable Chris Singer said: "Police themed movies and television documentaries might give a very exciting and dramatic picture of the role of the police but they rarely show the actual variety of work that your police service carry out each and every day.

"Protect 2016 is our chance to show you that when it comes to keeping you safe - it's not just about uniformed officers catching criminals and putting them behind bars.

"The activities we will be carrying out during these 10 days are simply those that we do each and every day. The only difference is that we will be working to highlight them and shed a light on the kinds of challenges police officers and police staff face on a daily basis. We hope this will help local people develop an understanding of what we do all day, every day, to protect them from harm."

One of the highlights of Protect 2016 will be a 24-hour Tweetathon.

Starting at 7am tomorrow morning both Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police will be tweeting an anonymised outline of every single report made to both forces via 999 and 101. The aim is to demonstrate to you that variety of calls received - many may not be what you would expect.
