Police and Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire, Matthew Ellis, recently spoke at Abbots Bromley Women’s Institute (WI) about local policing and his plans to transform it through new technology.
Mr Ellis talked with WI members about the work he has done to create support services for victims with the introduction of the Staffordshire Victim Gateway Service, aimed at putting the needs of victims at the heart of the criminal justice system. He also discussed his future plans for Staffordshire Police and the impact of new technology though a partnership with Boeing UK. Boeing will bring transformational capability to Staffordshire Police, providing new cutting edge technology and greater opportunities to work more effectively with partner organisations and local communities – as well as greater capability in fighting crime. Mr Ellis then answered questions from WI members.
He said: “I would like to thank Abbots Bromley WI for such a warm welcome and for inviting me to be their guest speaker. They were an excellent audience with great questions and I thank them for their hospitality.”
