<p>The Government is clear that local policing priorities should be driven by local
need, not the Home Office. Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) and Chief Constables
are best placed to determine these priorities, and are accountable to the communities
they serve. As HOLMES is a capability supporting these priorities, it is only right
that this responsibility has been transferred to PCCs.<br><br>We have established
the Police ICT Company to provide the requisite procurement capability to PCCs to
help them collectively manage and procure IT contracts and systems. As the company
will be owned and led by PCCs, it is now for them to take immediate decisions on the
specific functions of the company.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
