Just a very short blog today to thank all of our staff, their families and friends who were involved in the Police & Crime Commissioner election last Thursday and Friday – well over 1,000 of you across the county. Many of you worked from 6.30am on the Thursday to 4.30am Friday for which I am hugely grateful and thank you. It was a long day and with such a large and spread out county, with four counting venues it always presents some logistical challenges. As ever, these were met head on and addressed.
My special thanks to the elections team led by John Watling. The planning, training, and well thought out preparation again meant that we delivered a robust and accurate election. You’re all a pleasure to work with.
Speak again soon. For daily updates, discussion, personal opinion, comment or just to connect or keep in touch you can follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/#!/drcarltonbrand.
