Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are required to publish certain information to allow the public to hold them to account. Section 11(1) and (2) of The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 requires an elected local policing body to publish any information specified by the Secretary of State by order. The Elected Local Policing Bodies (Specified Information) Order 2011 (‘the Order’) sets out the information that must be published. Guidance on the order is published on gov.uk
The Elected Local Policing Bodies (Specified Information) (Amendment) Order 2021 (’the amending Order), which will come into force on 31 May 2021 provides that information relating to the force’s performance against the Government’s national priorities for policing, HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) performance reports on the force, and complaint handling must also be published. The amending Order also specifies that this information must be published in a prominent place on the elected local policing body’s website.
Stage one of the PCC Review found that the public cannot always easily access information on how well their force is doing. This page is designed to easily signpost and direct the public to the information they require.
As part of our requirements, we are awaiting new guidance from the Government regarding National Performance Measures for policing. Once we have greater clarity, this page will be updated to reflect any changes.
