West Midlands Police warned over 'security threat'

West Midlands Police has put its officers and staff on alert after receiving an anonymous warning over their safety.

The force said it had "implemented additional security measures" after obtaining the information.

Officers were held on duty while they were given the security reminder as they started their shifts.

The advice included guidance about travelling to and from work in partial uniform and police station security.

Assistant Chief Constable Garry Forsyth said while there is nothing to suggest an increased risk to members of the public, "all information relating to matters of security [is treated] extremely seriously.

"In this particular case, we have received information relating to the safety of West Midlands Police officers and police staff," he said.
