Commenting on the sad death of West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Bob Jones, Staffordshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Ellis said today:
“Although we didn’t share the same philosophies, I liked Bob very much as a person and will miss the banter we had on so many occasions.
“He was never afraid to speak his mind, even if this sometimes caused him to be in a minority of one among PCCs.
“The critical area where Bob made a significant difference in the last 18 months was in fundamentally changing and improving the way the police engaged with local people.
“My thoughts are with Bob’s family, friends and colleagues today.”
