Default staff from? staff of?

Hi teachers,

Here is a question from an exam preparation textbook:
Staff _____ an environmental group will be here to check for evidence of pollution.

I thought the answer was "of". I also searched "staff of" on an English language corpus web site and found a lot of examples. However, the book says the right preposition is "from".
Is "of " a totally wrong answer?
