Phil Butler, a former Detective Inspector, is the Conservative candidate. I come from a hard working family from the West End of Newcastle and have lived and worked in the region for 52 years. I’m honoured and privileged to be selected as the Conservative candidate to represent the views and concerns of the people of Northumbria and cut crime in our communities.

Whilst the new Police and Crime Commissioner post is new and much learning is required, it is clear that the elected candidate must have competencies at a very senior level, and ideally have the vision for the community and passion for people, particularly victims, to carry the responsibility successfully.
