The Police Warwickshire Business Watch email alert system has now been updated from VC Relay to the Community Messaging Service (CMS), and it brings with it a host of new features to enable you to tailor the messages you want to receive. Warwickshire County Council’s Business Crime Advisor along with colleagues in Warwickshire Police are currently auditing those that are on the old system to ensure that all members still receive messages if required.
As you can see below, there are 2 messaging systems that you can sign up to that will ensure relevant crime information for your area is circulated in a timely manner. You will receive similar messages from both so it is down to preference which one you receive information from, feel free to sign up to both. The 2 systems are detailed below.
