Staffordshire Commissioner to review Police performance at public meeting

Topics to be discussed by Staffordshire Commissioner Ben Adams and Acting Chief Constable Becky Riggs at a public meeting on Thursday (14 May) will include improvements in contact, keeping victims informed, and the impact of targeted, high-visibility Police patrols in reducing crime.

During the Police Public Performance Meeting, which will be broadcast live online from 2pm, the Commissioner will ask the Acting Chief Constable about the progress Staffordshire Police is making in its ambition to become an outstanding local Police force once again.

Topics discussed at the meeting will include:

Improvements in contact, with 88.2% of 999 calls answered within 10 seconds in the 12 months to February 2026, and the average time to answer 101 calls reducing to under two minutes for the last six months

An update on the first phase of the Victim’s Portal, which since its launch in December 2024 has been used by 22% of victims to track, monitor and receive updates about the progress of their crime or incident

An update on the Action Fund project, which saw over 16,000 hours of high-visibility Police patrols in 19 hotspot areas, resulting in a 4% reduction in crime, a 26% reduction in knife crime and an 8% reduction in serious violence in those areas

The Police Public Performance Meeting will be live streamed online from 2pm on Thursday 14 May, and will also be available to view afterwards.
