Police and Crime Commissioners

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government when they last made an assessment of the success or otherwise of the role and cost to the Exchequer of the Police and Crime Commissioners in England and Wales.

Answer

As the directly elected representative for policing in their area, Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) have an important local role acting as the voice of the public and victims in policing, holding Chief Constables to account and leading local partnerships to prevent crime and anti-social behaviour.

In her Written Ministerial Statement of 19 November 2024 (HCWS232), the Home Secretary announced her intention to present a White Paper to Parliament this year on reforms to deliver more effective and efficient policing, to rebuild public confidence and to deliver the Government's Safer Streets mission.
