It is a key element of the Police and Crime Commissioner’s role to hold the Chief Constable to account on behalf of local communities.
In 2019 the PCC will be holding a series of thematic meetings, two public Facebook live events, when members of the public can submit questions and a number of ‘virtual’ holding to account meetings. The virtual meetings enable the PCC to challenge the Chief Constable outside of the agreed meeting dates.
The notes from all the meetings are published below.
