Wiltshire Police, Police England and Wales Police and Crime Commissioner elections, 2012


Wiltshire Police,



Paul Batchelor is the Liberal Democrat candidate. Warminster Police Neighbourhood Tasking group chair Paul Batchelor has been chosen by Swindon and Wiltshire Liberal Democrats to be their Police and Crime Commissioner candidate for the upcoming Police and Crime Commissioner election on Thursday 15th November.



Cllr Angus Macpherson is the Conservative candidate. The position of Police and Crime Commissioner is a complex and vitally-important new role. It is essential to elect the right person.



Claire Moody is the Labour candidate. I have spent my life standing up for other people, both in the community and in the workplace. 



John Short UK Independence Party  is a former deputy Chief Executive of Swindon Borough Council and then a councillor for Highworth ward (elected as a Conservative). I also wish for closer working relationships with the probation services, NHS and other emergency services.



Liam Silcocks is standing as an independent. Wiltshire Police is 170 years old and the oldest provincial Police service in the country.  The first Chief Constable of Wiltshire spent his entire salary on travelling across Wiltshire meeting the public.  I believe he captured the essence of what the PCC role is all about.



Counter terrorism specialist Colin Skelton is an independent candidate.  I’m standing as an Independent Candidate, because I want to make Wiltshire the safest place to live in the country, with the lowest level of crime. This is achievable if Wiltshire Police follow evidence based policies and recruit more Police Officers.
