It is important the public can see that their local police service is being run efficiently and effectively and that measures to support victims and prevent and reduce crime are in place. The Commissioner holds the Chief Constable to account in delivering against the priorities of the Police and Crime Plan and also and ensures that the force’s performance reporting mechanisms are meaningful and fit-for-purpose.
As part of improving transparency the PCC must publish some commentary against the National Policing and Crime Measures. You can read all about this here National Policing and Crime Measure reporting
