Letter writer missed the point

It is the Crown Prosecution Service, and not the police, who decide if a prosecution follows a police investigation, and if he really had to complain about the prosecutions, CFO Smith should have addressed the CPS, and not Warwickshire police.

As I wrote, public safety depends of a close and mutually respectful relationship between the emergency services, and CFO Smith’s intemperate attack, and the support so misguidedly offered him by Cllr Farnell, leader of Warwickshire County Council, did nothing to enhance the vitally important relationship between police and the fire and rescue service.

On the contrary, they inflicted considerable unnecessary damage to it, to the detriment of the people of Warwickshire who pay CFO Smith’s salary. - J.E.S.Bradshaw, Nightingale Court, Southam.
