Police and Crime Commissioners

Study note

In England and Wales, the public elect Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs). A PCC sets local policing priorities and the local policing budget, and appoints the Chief Constable. The police themselves are organised into separate forces and are independent of the government.

Memory tip: PCCs are elected in England and Wales; they set police priorities and appoint the Chief Constable.
