Police: Reorganisation

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what role Police and Crime Commissioners will have in relation to the National Police Service before the position of Police and Crime Commissioner is abolished.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Police Reform White Paper makes clear that the voices of local police governance bodies should form part of the governance of the NPS.

We will continue to work with local partners to help establish the NPS, including Police and Crime Commissioners up until they are abolished in May 2028.
