"Online recruitment agency, RecruitmentRevolution.com, has commented on the resignation and current police investigation of Paris Brown, the seventeen-year-old Kent Police Youth Crime Commissioner who resigned after media reports that she had made ""racist and homophobic"" comments on her personal Twitter account.
