Staffordshire Police has been recognised for its efforts to support members of the Armed Forces community.

The force received a silver award as part of the Ministry of Defence’s Employer Recognition Scheme.

It comes after Staffordshire Police signed the Armed Forces covenant last year.

Chief Superintendent Elliott Sharrard-Williams said:

> “I am both delighted and proud that we have been recognised for the support provided to those from a military background.   
>  
> “Since we signed the Armed Forces Covenant last year, we have shown that we are truly committed to ensuring that serving or ex-military personnel are treated fairly.   
>  
> “This important work will ensure that the force continues to benefit from the invaluable skills and experience that those with military service bring to policing.”  
>  
> Chief Superintendent Elliott Sharrard-Williams

Staffordshire Police currently employs around 50 veterans or members of military families.
