On 15 November 2012, for the first time ever, the public across England and Wales will elect police and crime commissioners who will be accountable for how crime is tackled in their police force area.
Police and crime commissioners (PCCs)
will ensure the policing needs of their communities are met as
effectively as possible, bringing communities closer to the police,
building confidence in the system and restoring trust.
PCCs will make and influence key decisions that will impact on how your local area looks and feels - from CCTV, street lighting and graffiti to tackling gangs and drug-dealing.
Their job is to listen to the public and then respond to their needs, bringing more of a public voice to policing and giving the public a name and a face to complain to if they aren't satisfied.
A document has been produced by the Police Federation containing the candidates for each police force area, which can be downloaded here using the 'latest developments' link.
