    “So despite Staffordshire Police correcting The Sentinel on their previous inaccurate report (when the posts were originally advertised); they still went ahead and published incorrect information. To "Owdy1" - you're right, the CC is responsible for the day to day management of the forces 1900 officers. The post mentioned "Chief of Staff" is employed by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner and is responsible only for staff and strategic management within the Office of the Police and Crime Comissioner.

    Poor reporting, very poor reporting......”
