Police and Crime Commissioners

Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are elected officials in England and Wales responsible for overseeing local police forces. Their main role is to ensure that policing meets the needs of the community, setting priorities and budgets for law enforcement. PCCs work to improve public safety, engage with local residents to understand their concerns, and hold the police accountable for their performance. They play a crucial role in shaping crime prevention strategies and promoting collaboration with other agencies to address broader social issues related to crime.
