Dear Mr. Smith,

In order to complete the FIO request.  Would you please clarify question
1(a) (Number of re-recorded as a conduct matter).  Do you mean anything
other than a direction and control.

Regards

Dear Mr Smith

RE FOI 3304

Can you please clarify if you mean how many disipline and complaints
issued have gone on to be a complaint issue rather than a conduct issue

Dear Staffordshire Police,

To clarify my request, I asked how many complaints recorded as direction and control matters (ie outside of the PRA 2002 definition) were subsequently re-recorded as conduct matters (ie with PRA 2002).

Many thanks.

Yours faithfully,

Graham Smith
