Kent Police and Crime Commissoner Elections 15 November - A Guide

Following Parliamentary approval, in September 2011 the Police and Social Responsibility Bill received Royal Assent and became an Act. Police authorities in England and Wales will be abolished and replaced by elected Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs). This will create a new style of police governance which has been designed with the intention of strengthening the relationship between the police and the communities they serve.
