The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner
The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) is elected by the public and is accountable to them for the performance of the police force in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The PCC provides a link between the force and the communities they serve, translating the legitimate demands of the public into action. They set the strategy for policing and reducing crime and disorder, through their Police and Crime Plan, and set the budget and the council tax precept. The PCC owns all police assets – including the police estate. The PCC is normally elected on a four-year cycle, with the next election due in 2024. The Police and Crime Commissioner’s team is made up of around 40 experienced people, led by the Chief Executive. The people who work with the Commissioner include experts in areas such as policy; scrutiny; finance; communications and engagement; and business administration.
