Cyber is on the agenda of the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) business summit at the police force’s Lloyd House building in Birmingham city centre, from 6pm on Wednesday, January 18.
West Midlands PCC David Jamieson said: “This year, myself and my assistant PCC Ashely Bertie will be talking about our work with young people and why their ambition and potential is so important to the future of our economy. We really want to see businesses reach out to support our youngsters and offer mentoring, training and employment.
“West Midlands Police will also be delivering a speech about the links between business crime and organised crime. This will prove to be an interesting and, indeed, vital presentation for anyone who may be touched by this sort of crime. I hope to see as many businesspeople there as possible and would urge you all to sign up now and make the most of this evening of information, discussion and feedback.”
Other items on the agenda include the development of borough-wide business-crime partnerships led by the first one of its kind, Wolverhampton.
West Midlands PCC Chief Financial Officer Mark Kenyon will also be making a presentation about the police budget, council tax precept and funding, as well as answering questions from delegates. The headline figures from the region’s second annual cyber crime survey will also be revealed.
