Meetings and events

Accountability panels, public forums, and one-to-one surgeries.

Community Engagement

The Police and Crime Commissioner needs to hear from local people to represent the community effectively.

The PCC hosts a variety of events to gather views on policing, crime, and anti-social behaviour, and whether you think the police provide value for money. This includes talking to young people, victims of crime, businesses, and public sector partners.

He also meets regularly with police officers, staff, and their representatives, such as the Police Federation and Unison.

Throughout the year, the PCC also hosts public meetings, on-tour events, and community surgeries.
