  2. Role of Police and Crime Commissioners(PCC’s) • The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act abolished Police Authorities in England and Wales , replacing them with a directly elected PCC in 41 Police Force areas. • Took office in November 2012, and are active in every area they see as relevant to crime reduction. • 16 Conservative,13 Labour and 12 Independent.

  3. Role of PCC’S • Appointing the Chief Constable and holding them to account for the running of their force. • Producing a 5 year Police and Crime Plan setting out local policing priorities( by 31/3/2013). • Setting the annual policing precept component of local authority Council Tax, and the annual police force budget. • Co-operating with the Criminal Justice System in their area. • Working with partners and funding community safety activity to tackle crime and disorder by making grants to organisations that support their objectives. • A leadership role that extends beyond their legislative remit.

  4. Opportunities for the Prince’s Trust and partners: • Align with PCC’s thinking to access grants-geographical hotspots; crime and disorder types; anti-social behaviour etc • Show them how our work with young people can reduce crime, and have a positive impact on community safety. • Highlight case studies/evidence to positively influence PCC’s and the general public. • Demonstrate and profile our impact on re-offending, anti-social behaviour and substance misuse.

  5. Useful Resources and next steps: • Make links with the regional Public Sector Partnerships Teams, who are already communicating with PCC’s. • The Home Office’s Police and Crime Commissioners website: • http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/police/police-crime-commissioners/ • Andrew.Heydeman@princes-trust.org.uk;07572 101487
