The Police and Crime Commissioner has a statutory duty to scrutinise, challenge, and ensure the Chief Constable delivers an effective and efficient police service for their local area, acting as the public's voice by setting priorities, monitoring performance, and ensuring transparency and value for money in policing. This involves regular meetings, performance reviews (like the Accountability & Performance Panel), and oversight of force decisions and complaints handling.
