The Home Secretary has announced a review of the role of Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs). The review will take place in two stages. The first stage will take place over summer and will look at ways to improve the accountability and raise standards of PCCs. The second stage will take place after the PCC elections in May 2021 and will look at further powers for PCCs to better fight crime in their areas.
The review will not look at scrapping the role of PCCs, nor will it examine the 43 force model in England and Wales.
