There only three options all stating you are willing to pay a increase.

A little over tens years ago Leicestershire, Leicester and  Rutland Police and Crime Commissioners Hustings was held at Rutland County Museum, here in Oakham. 

The candidates were Clive Robert Loader Conservative Party, Suleman Nagdi Independent, Sarah Christine Russell Labour Party. 

The role of the PCC was never made that clear, a lot who attended the hustings left thinking the PCC would actually have some control of policing in the area, especially the crime farmers suffered. Unfortunately people very quickly learnt the PCC can do nothing to assist people.
