AN annual report will be presented by the Staffordshire Commissioner at a Police, Fire and Crime Panel meeting.
As well as presenting the review of work carried out by Staffordshire Police and Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service, Ben Adams will also provide an update on the latest report from His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS).
The inspectors rated the way the police force responds to the public as 'inadequate'.
The Staffordshire Commissioner said:
"This annual report reflects on a year of continued progress, set against a backdrop of significant challenge and change.
"It outlines delivery against my Police and Crime Plan and Fire and Rescue Plan, which focus on the issues that matter most to our communities.
"Staffordshire Police, Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Service and my office have all delivered improved outcomes over the last year and our communities and victims are seeing the benefit.
"However, the recent HMICFRS report raises concerns about how the force responds to the public.
"A key part of my role is holding the Chief Constable to account. A key part of the Police, Fire and Rescue and Crime Panel’s role is to hold me to account, so I welcome the opportunity to discuss the recent HMICFRS findings."
The meeting can be viewed online from 10am tomorrow (13th July).
