To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to broaden the remit of Police and Crime Commissioners.

Within our Manifesto, this Government gave a commitment to “…develop the role of our elected and accountable Police and Crime Commissioners.”
We have already announced proposals to enhance the PCCs current role in relation to police complaints and emergency services collaboration.
We are actively looking for further opportunities to develop the PCC role as we move forward towards the next national PCC elections in 2016 so that they are able to shape policing services to local needs, as they are now doing in commissioning victims’ services, setting policing priorities and driving reform.
