PCCs aim to cut crime and deliver an effective and efficient police service within their police force area. They are elected by the public to hold the police force to account on their behalf.

Police and Crime Commissioners:

  • make sure the police force budget is spent effectively
  • appoint the chief constables of the local police force
  • engage with the public and victims of crime to help set police and crime plans
  • work closely with the local council and other community organisations on these plans and projects 

The PCC represents you in your local police force.

Elections for PCCs take place every 4 years.
