PCCs are responsible for the totality of policing within their force area. This includes delivering an effective and efficient police service to meet the priorities of the local community. As the locally elected representative for policing, it is for PCCs, working with their Chief Constable, to set their priorities for policing in their area and hold their Chief Constable to account for their performance.<\/p>
Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are funded by the Government for their functions and this is distributed based on the relative needs of the police force they oversee. As a locally elected and democratically accountable individual, it is up to them to decide how to balance their expenditure on delivery of their policing and crime priorities, including the size and composition of the Office of the PCC.<\/p>
Ultimately, PCCs are directly elected by the communities they serve, and it is the public that can hold their PCC to account for their decisions and actions at the ballot box.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4503", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Philp"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Croydon South"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Chris Philp"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "201084"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-10-23T11:30:30.487Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-10-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police and Crime Commissioner"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner\u2019s Model for Change.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4653", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Stephen Morgan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Portsmouth South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Stephen Morgan"} ], "uin" : "201085"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/62341", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/62341/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Last September, the Home Secretary commissioned Her Majesty's Inspectorate of
Constabulary to conduct a review of the response to domestic abuse
across all police forces. HMIC published its findings in March 2014,
emphasising that the key priority is a culture change in the police so that
domestic violence and abuse is treated as the crime that it is and that the
police use the full range of tools already available to them.
In response to the Review, the Home Secretary has established a new national
oversight group, which she is chairing, and on which I sit, to oversee delivery
against each of HMIC's recommendations. Their first meeting was held
on 10 June. The Home Secretary has also written to chief constables making it clear
that every police force must have an action plan in place by September 2014.
There are a number of offences that make domestic abuse illegal, including
actual bodily harm, grievous bodily harm and assault. Assault can extend to
non-physical harm. This Government has introduced stalking and harassment
legislation which can apply to coercive control and psychological abuse.
However, the Government will continue to consider what measures will drive
culture change in the police in response to the findings of the HMIC review.<\/p>
