Dear Chairman,

Re: The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire’s draft policing service budget and precept for 2019/20.

Thank you for your letter received on the 1 February 2019, and your resolve to support the Precept and Revenue Budget for 2019/20.

The comments are noted around staffing numbers and deployment and the need for a future workshop to be held, to provide more clarify on these issues and to fully meet the needs of the panel. I also note the importance of both communicating and demonstrating to communities within Staffordshire and Stoke-on- Trent the need for, and use of, the additional £24 per household per annum through precept in 2019/20.

I thank you for your consideration in the above matter.

Yours sincerely,
