Wouldn't worry too much about it, folks, do you actually think it's going to make much difference to anything?

 

[BensGrandad]

Just said on the radio news the turnout was worse than expected less than 10% but according to DC it will be better next time when people realize that they can have a say in the future of the police and their work.

that's no way to talk about your new boss Edna. Show some respect, woman.

It could. If a PCC has a particularly strong viewpoint on something then he/she could put pressure on the chief constable to give a particular topic more focus. For example if the PCC is strongly opposed to alcohol, they may use their influence get the police to be more rigorous in their policing of pubs and licensed premises.

Policemen and women (of all ranks) should, and usually do, leave their personal beliefs and prejudices at the door when they go to work; the same goes for PCCs

Indeed it will, they lost their deposit in Corby

She's not my boss.

I answer to the lady in my avatar, and on a slightly more local level, the Chief Constable. She may be his boss, but she's not mine.
