The Introduction Of

Police Crime Commissioners

Police Crime Commissioners (TF)

• Approved on 15th Sept 2011 through Police Reform & Social Responsibility Bill.

• Public will take to the polls to vote for one person to oversee policing, a Police Crime Commissioner

• First election on the 15th Nov 2012

• To take office on the 22nd Nov 2012

= Community having a greater say as to how their areas are policed and tackle community safety issues

The PCC will:

• Appoint the Chief Constable (CC) and hold them to account

• Set out a 5 year Crime and Police Plan in consultation with CC to reflect local priorities.

• Making community safety grants to other organisations (including but not limited to CSPs)

• Freedom to commission services

• Police and Crime panels – to scrutinise
