Police, Fire and Crime Commissioners: Essex
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether there will be an election for the role of Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex in 2028.
Answered by Jim McMahon
As set out in the English Devolution White Paper, the government’s ambition is that where mayoral geographies align with police force and fire and rescue geographies, Mayors will be, by default, responsible for exercising Police and Crime Commissioner and Fire and Rescue Authority functions. This will include where new Mayoral Combined Authorities are created.
The timing of the transfer of Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner functions, and therefore plans for future elections, will be determined in due course.
