Staffordshire Police and Crime Comissioner

Staffordshire Police is to benefit from a new purpose-built training facility that will see firearms officers prepared for complex and high-risk situations.

Work has officially started on Staffordshire Police’s new £20.6m armed training facility, a project designed to strengthen the force’s ability to respond to firearms incidents and keep communities safe.

Plans for Staffordshire Police’s new armed training facility have been approved, as part of the Staffordshire Commissioner for Police, Fire & Rescue and Crime’s commitment to invest in the facilities the force needs to keep communities safe.

Nine members of staff at Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Service have been trained as ‘Domestic Abuse Workplace Champions,’ providing the skills and knowledge to support their colleagues.
