Matthew Ellis, Staffordshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, spoke to local people about the issues that mattered to them when he returned to Lichfield.
He held supermarket surgeries in Tesco in Church Street and Morrisons in Beacon Street on Tuesday afternoon.
The ‘Let’s Talk’ events were the latest opportunity for people to tell Mr Ellis first-hand about crime and local policing and their experience of the criminal justice system. People were invited to come along to discuss any concerns they had about crime, policing and community safety – no appointment was needed.
Mr Ellis said: “There were some interesting issues raised and some good conversation with local people.
“It was a great opportunity to find out what people in Lichfield and the surrounding areas have to say. I want to hear what people’s experiences are of policing and the criminal justice system.
“How could things be done better to make sure the system fits the needs of people rather than people having to fit the system?
“These events give local people a chance to shape the future of policing and the criminal justice services for us all.”
