Staffordshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Matthew Ellis spoke to Burntwood Women’s Institute (WI) about local policing last Thursday (7 July).
Mr Ellis talked with members of the WI at their meeting in Burntwood about the work he has done to address reoffending, joining up services and the ongoing roll-out of mobile technology devices which will help to free up 250,000 hours of visible, front-line policing a year. He then answered questions from members.
Mr Ellis said: “I would like to thank Burntwood WI for such a warm welcome and for inviting me to be their guest speaker.
“They were a wonderfully receptive audience and I thank them for their hospitality.”
Gwyneth Howells, president of Burntwood WI, said: “You could tell by the quietness in the hall just how well received and informative the talk was.”
“It has given us all a great insight into the work of the Staffordshire Police and Crime Commissioner – what’s going on, what’s happening and what is being achieved.”
