Police and Crime Commissioner

A Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) is an elected official responsible for overseeing the police force in a specific area, typically at the county or metropolitan level in England and Wales. PCCs ensure that the police effectively address local crime and safety issues, allocate budgets, and hold the police accountable to the public. They work to set strategic priorities for the police, engage with communities, and promote crime prevention initiatives, all aimed at improving overall safety and public confidence in policing.
