Around 40 people turned out to hear Staffordshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner outline his vision at Speakers’ Corner in Lichfield.
Matthew Ellis spoke for half-an-hour at Dam Street on issues such as victims’ services and improvements to local policing, before fielding questions.
He said: “The weather was mixed on Saturday, but there was a decent turnout and some good questions.
“I updated listeners about our work in spending public money better and achieving more whilst also making sure the criminal justice system fits people’s needs rather than them having to fit the system.
“I also described that we’ve been able to nearly double this year’s recruitment of new officers from 42 to 80, which went down very well.
“This is the third time I’ve spoken here now and I’ll certainly look forward to my next visit.”
