ESSEX Police Federation Chairman Steve Taylor met Home Secretary Priti Patel recently to develop a new working relationship with the Essex MP.<\/p>\n
Steve spoke to the Minister at a Parliamentary event and has already arranged for a lengthier meeting with her so he can further the cause of policing and police officers in the county.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was the first time I\u2019ve met her and as a result of that meeting I\u2019ve got a sit-down meeting arranged with her in a few weeks; she invited me to the Home Office so I\u2019ll be taking her up on that,\u201d Steve said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very much hoping to put an Essex context onto some of the national policing programmes which we\u2019re looking to advance.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I want to keep her, as an Essex MP, in the local loop when it comes to the state of Essex Police and the Essex Federation and Essex officers. I just wanted to give the national work an Essex voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that she\u2019s Home Secretary can\u2019t hurt in furthering these issues either.\u201d<\/p>\n
