The Police and Crime Commissioner
Donna Jones was elected as Police and Crime Commissioner in May 2021. ” Whilst reducing crime is important, preventing it happening in the first place is even more so. The additional funding the government has committed to Hampshire Constabulary is an opportunity to build a police force that works for the residents of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, from improving the 999 and 101 service to giving you feedback when you’ve reported a crime. I want to make Hampshire and Isle of Wight one the safest place to live in the country. “ Donna has been a Magistrate in Hampshire for sixteen years.
