00:00 Hi, I just wanted to make you aware of Staffordshire Police progress against our inspection bodies'

00:06 decision to move us into engage, or what's been commonly known as special measures. As

00:11 of today I've been informed that we are now coming out of special measures, out of the

00:15 engage stage of inspection. There was two reasons why we came into that in the first

00:20 place. One was around how responsive we were to the public, and I'm right at the heart

00:24 of our force control room now, which has shown significant improvements in how we're responding,

00:28 not just the emergency calls, but one on one, but more to be done to improve that service

00:33 further. The second area was around the quality of our investigations, how we respond to victims,

00:38 how we support them, how we bring offenders to account. And again, progress in that area

00:43 to the point that again, our inspection body have said that we are now coming out of engage

00:48 and coming out of special measures. So excellent progress, really pleased for our staff in

00:53 terms of the service they provide every single day, but they are our harshest critics and

00:57 they know there's more to be done to deliver an even better service for communities of

01:00 Staffordshire.

01:01 Thank you.
