Police and crime commissioners take office today, almost two years to the day since the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill was introduced to Parliament heralding their introduction.

They start the job today and will be in post until May 2016. Police and crime commissioners (PCCs) will:

  • be directly accountable to the public and subject to ongoing public scrutiny
  • have the democratic mandate to respond to local people’s concerns
  • set local force’s policing priorities and their local police force budget
  • work with local partners to prevent crime
  • hold their chief constable to account for the performance of the force
  • appoint, and where necessary, dismiss the chief constable

Before they can exercise these powers, the PCCs take an oath of impartiality to publicly set out their commitment to tackling their new role with integrity and serve all the people they represent.
