Police and Crime Commissioners: 10 years on

Inquiry

The first Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) were elected in 2012. Just over ten years on from their introduction, this inquiry will explore the role of PCCs, likely including:

  • The impact of PCCs since 2012
  • The extent to which they provide effective oversight and democratic accountability for local policing
  • The efficacy of Police and Crime Panels (PCPs) at scrutinising PCCs
  • Relationships between PCCs and Chief Officers
  • The efficacy of PCCs at driving collaboration to improve public safety, commissioning services (including for victims) and performing their roles in the complaints system
  • The impact where Police, Fire and Crime Commissioners have taken on responsibility for fire and rescue services
  • Any reform needed to the PCC model.
