This blog is for the happy cops bringing down the crime rate in Staffordshire and the unhappy cops in Staffordshire Constabulary who can`t control the criminal activity in Burton on Trent a fair town in the above mentioned county of Staffordshire.
If there`s one topic on which my fuse burns rather quickly and brightly it is crime statistics and especially those reported locally through local press. These are not F.O.I. figures. They are generally prepared and supplied by the local constabulary.
It was therefore salutary to read in "This is Staffordshire" of the falling crime rate. After all amongst other things that`s what the council tax payers of the county are paying for and surely Staffordshire Constabulary`s P.R. department will tell it how it is....or will it? Burton on Trent lies in the aforesaid county of Staffordshire. According to its local newspaper "The Burton News and Staffordshire" crime is rising in that fair town. I am not here to contradict these reports. But if anybody reading this blog lives in the town and reads both these newspapers are you happy or dissatisfied with the performance of your local police force?

Surely the report re Burton on Trent should have included overall county figures in addition to the local criminal activity? Surely the P.R. department should have managed the publication of crime figures more comprehensively? Surely for the public benefit this type of nonsense should be controlled more effectively?
