Staffordshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Matthew Ellis spoke to Waterfall Women’s Institute (WI) about policing in Staffordshire Moorlands on Tuesday.
Mr Ellis talked with 25 members of the WI at their meeting in Waterhouses. He spoke about the work he has been doing since he took on the role, including the changes in crime, offender management 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 Waterfall WI for the warm welcome and for inviting me to be their guest speaker.
“It is important to talk to local people about plans for policing in their area. I answered many questions about the work that’s being done with offenders who want help to get out of a cycle of crime and communities safer.”
Joyce Mycock, president on Waterdall WI, said: “We would like to thank Mr Ellis for the very thought provoking talk and for travelling all the way to meet us.
“The WI is always interested about crime in Staffordshire and it was very interesting to listen to Mr Ellis.”
